New designs ???

So, Sir Rossi says Honda have some radical designs that would revolutionise motorcycles (MCN interview). Wonder what these might be then? Could they have a chassis that actually is a major step forward - allows much later braking when leaned over - higher corner speeds - more grip etc etc.
After all, bikes haven't really changed much in a whole century.
And will we ever see these ideas?

would love to see a trully radical bike that performs better than what we have - not that we really need it, I'd just like to see it.

I reckon that this cyz..czy..cyzsx...unpronouncable word has some pretty radical technology.

There are several design features of this bike, like the counter rotating cranks that eliminate torque reaction and enable longitudinal placement, the fork design and the way the slipper clutch works that is just genius.

The noise when you put your cursor over the C1 logo is awesome as well.
