I'd want a CBR1000f with a cam chain-tensioner that can be changed in under 10 mins
No offence , but some aspects of the VFR1200 styling look as though they're going all out for the US market and though it looks modern and there is some great design , it just doesn't blend together . Like the exhaust , it looks great , but it looks like they took it off another bike and slapped it on the VFR
Also if you stuck a BMW badge on there , I wouldn't have known any different

I like the rear, though, particularly the shaft drive and ss swingarm.

Really, How cool would this be?
Quick change plastics so you can change the personality of your bike in about 10 minutes
Just like a cell phone. Think of the savings when you crash. Having aftermarket people (probably China) stamping them out like Skittles would make them a ton cheaper. You could get your bike just the way you want it mechanically, and then change the look like you rearrange furniture when you get a little bored. That would be sooooo cool.
The key would be having the manufacturer design the attachment points and mechanisms for quick changes. (Which they wouldn't want to do) But they could open up a whole new accessory line this way.
But then we would probably have a whole new type of theft problem. Damn.
