My personal prediction is that we wont be hunched over so much over the bike anymore(kinda like we sit IN the bike). We will more of a crusier (upright) position with bikes going even faster and better handling capibilities then we have now.

What your opinion?

 

[Get_1]

better stopping power and better color variations to increase visibility. dont know how a sportbike will look at an upright position. maybe HUD stock on bikes as well

 

[illmatic101]

Yeah I know what you mean. I think it will have a more upright position but you will be sitting lower to the ground.

Ever Played XG3 or XG2?(Extreme Gravity Racining) Check out those bikes

Projector head beams in all bikes, maybe xenon-gas, different plastic panels, colors. Modest increase in power specs. Virtually the same otherwise. They're very cost effective when it comes in energy, e.g. gasoline.

Don't see reason to change power system or riding position.

 

[illmatic101]

I think I have seen that game before. Im also sure they will get way better m/p/g. I deffiently agree with a different shape & panels. The main reason I can see the seating position change would be to make sportbikes of the furture more comfortable to the rider.

I think they will be lighter, faster, and safety will be a major factor for non-race oriented bikes, like standards, tourers, and dual sports.

Hopefully not like most of those concept bikes that ive seen people post on here. :barf

Under heavy government regulations due to people who speed wrecklessly and wheelie down highways and stunt in traffic. nfloor

In 10+ years from now I think the sportbikes we ride now will be extremely limited for road use or illegal altoghether. Bikes will probably be limited by hp/weight ratio and only things like scooters/cruisers will be allowed.

Standard equipment would be a G-suit.

 

[illmatic101]

I deffiently think sportbikes will be around in the furture and alot better then what we have now in every category.

LOL .

I think the horsepower wars will slow down due to regulations. I think manufacturers will concentrate more on chassis design, brakes and aerodynamics. MSRP's will be close to 15k for 600SS bikes and around 18k for liter SS bikes. I also see naked bikes gaining more popularity and hopefully choppers will be a thing of the past.

I will be able to walk into a motorcycle dealership and purchase a 1000cc bike with performance near comparable to today's moto GP bikes.

They'll come with helmets welded to the frame.

Great question - I wish that I knew the answer.

I think the changes will be incrementally smaller than in the past, in the same direction. At 58 years old, I am planning on keeping my current one until I no longer want a sportbike.

 

[MT Wallet]

maybe abs will become so cheap it'll be standard equipment?

Agreed as far as the bikes go..

But I also see that if we don't get lucky or police ourselves, government intervention will play a bug factor, and make it very hard for people to get a bike that performs as well as we'd like.

That's a scary thought. Lighter and faster. I sat on a friends 600rr the other day. It felt like my f4i without a motor. The 1000rr I rode wasnt much heavier, and it's a frickin liter bike. Bikes today are way too light and way too pawerful. I dont wanna think about more.
