RE: Bye Bye F4i.. Hello RR
Has anyone noticed that the fairings of sportbikes have gotten smaller each year and they only get better looking. Do you think Honda could make a sportbike without any kind of fairing at all? Why am I typing this when I could just be introspective and just think this? Why am I still typing?I need my medication.

One thing is for sure, they definitely look different. I like the sharp angular lines they are putting in the new designs A LOT but less fairings (which could attribute to the "smaller" size) does start to look like a naked bike. It's definitely got somethign to with weight reduction and i'm sure it has somethign to do with aerodynamics as well. They are getting a little overboard with this competition for performance/weight reduction... I seriously doubt anybody but extremely experienced riders notice the difference and it would be mostly on the track. I'd like to see them start using traction control and an adjustable ABS before i see the bikes getting any lighter or more powerful. Pnumatic valves would a SUPER nice direction too.
