From a new model show in Long Beach.
ZX: Matte gray; very stealthy looking. Getting long in the tooth. Could use a TC, more torque... oh wait, those are my upgrades.
ZX-10; Fly bye cable, hello single blade in the throttle body. Subs are history-stepper motors are new era. Spring in a box and that shaft runs the TPS. The old style cables are still looped thru the frame, to that box, why not fly by wire like yam, I don't know? Laydown rear shock. You need to buy an array of stacking shims to lower or raise the rear end. ABS. Looks small and lightweight.
Duc; 600cc dirt bikes with dirt track tire patterns. Kind of copied the cafe/chop dirt tire look a few years back.
Honda; Dual clutch 700cc twin. Not a bike, not a scooter. No longer is the shift pedal or clutch lever used. Everything is index or thumb mode driven. Right index selects your standard granny/hooligan modes, or use standard or automatic shifting. A faster shift apply vs rpm is that right finger controlling that gr/ho mode. For standard shift, left index upshifts, thumb downshifts. For automatic, run the throttle only. The rpm to wheel speed will downshift as will the upshifting. Forgot to shift down in standard mode? The ECU overrides your fuckup and downshifts for you. Clutch 1-3-5 is one pack, 2-4-6 gears use the other clutch pack. There is no rear wheel creep. You can kick the rear wheel backwards as it idles in first gear.
The high end gp-trickledown limited edition Honda 1000cc; (the slowly rising boner smilies icon)
Yam; 1000 frame-engine-body cutout display: Retractable v-stacks. Valves are this side of soda straw in length. That is one long intake port from top of the stack to back of valve. Head angle has come a long way.
