Designing a whole motorbike? Impossible if you're going to do it to sufficient detail I would suggest, unless you have about 3 years to do it in. What course are you on? I might do the questionaire later though, dinner time.

I ride a motorcycle, or a bike.

Technically 'Motorbike' is a very poor term for it really.

4. What do you use the motorbike for? (eg. Work, pleasure)
Both

5. If you share the motorbike, whom do you share it with?
n/a

6. Do you find the motorbike comfortable all the time?
No

7. If you answered no, where do find most of your aches and pains? (eg. Hands, back, legs, neck etc…)
After about 30 minutes I start to get lower back pain. My back isn't great as it is. This is not a result of motorcycling, but it doesn't help. I shift position often which ends up hurting my arms and shoulders. Need a more sitty-uppy machine tbh.

8. What do you look for in a motorbike? (eg. Comfort, handling, power, looks etc...)
In retrospect, having had a sports style bike, I'd have to say: Comfort first, handling second, looks next, and finally power.

9. Can you see any problems with current motorbike designs? If so what are they?
There's something to suit everybody out there, it's just finding the ideal bike that's the problem.
