[This post comes from an electrical engineer who's a complete newbie to the world of automobiles & therefore his questions might look 'too basic']
With that disclaimer, I'll put my questions straight -
I haven't seen any innovative designs when it comes to the motorcycles. Every year, Honda / Yamaha / TVS / Kinetic & Bajaj folks introduce new motorcycles, with only the 'fiber' body changed [my observation].
For example, Hero Honda is advertising its latest 'Hunk' motorcycle in India. I don't see anything new except a new headlight and few extra plastic parts here and there
.
So, is there anything new in these motorcycles? Can Automobile, Mechanical folks throw some light?
