It looks to me as though bikes might be getting prettier again. Maybe I’m just an old stick-in-the-mud* but the Sugomi/Transformers look never appealed. Retros appeal as long as they have plenty of modern sparkle; it used to be called tectro. I think I still prefer clocks on those though. Wings on sportsbikes look silly to me but I guess they’ll be gone if MotoGP bans them next season. Hopefully gigantic cans and rusty underslung collector/catalyst boxes are on the way out.

Otherwise, I was impressed by the way the lady at 11 mins 20 secs made the Suzuki badge with her fingers (I have now done it too), and I wondered whether the Bimota blanket used to prevent boots scuffing the tail unit at 17 mins 20 seconds comes with the bike.

*New trends have to grow on me, and admittedly most do but I’m always late to the party.
