here's something romantic about the purpose of design. An in-
strument created for a specific task, with no accommodations for
anything else, commands a certain amount of respect.
Modern production motorcycles do not fall under this category.
These machines, while undoubtedly sharp and finely tuned, need to
make concessions to multiple areas in order to be sold. A Yamaha
YZF-R6 is a stunning motorcycle, no doubt, but it was first designed as
a streetbike, not a racing motorcycle.
RACING BUT DON'T WANT A
THE BRILLIANT KRÄMER HKR-
JUST BE THE TICKET.
