Interesting read !

I'd love to get involved in that sort of industry, slaving away over one part to make it stiffer in one axis, 10% more efficient and 15% lighter than previous.

I also love how openly he calls Cruisers old tech and all about aesthetics (lol)

The article says that most emission regs around the world is now driven by EU regulations so all vehicles will be made to that standard.

He's right though.....cruisers are the two-wheeled version of a vintage car club. Form over function, etc.
Bad form at that.
