Don't like any kind of weapons wether in the air, water or land. They all should be banned ....and by no means would compare them to motorbikes, which are build for pure joy and not for destruction. I didn't had this association in mind with my german term.
What I meant was much more, that the appearance of the CB1000R looks not wrinkeld enough in my eyes as an aircooled engine does despite other modern effects of not having parallel rear schocks and so on.
But desgin is a wide field with all its likes and dislikes.

I appreciate your perspective and since we don't do politics here, we'll leave it at that.
I can backtrack, though, to before WWII, when Germany was building the world's most beautiful gliders and had the most innovative airliners and exciting and well-attended flying clubs. Charles Lindbergh was a famous guest who greatly appreciated German aviation progress at the time. So was James Doolittle, the great American air racing pilot. It was all about having fun back in those days, just the joy of flight.
So the design of a bike must be like the kind of oil you use or something. LOL I think air-cooled bikes should use mineral-based oil, and liquid-cooled bikes should only use synthetic. Keeping it real!
Well enough banter. I like this bike, I'll keep my eyes on it.
Oh yes, I wanted to say also very ironically, the design of the 2018 CB1000R is pure, unvarnished
Bauhaus.
Bauhaus Wasilly Chair
Of all the chairs to come out of the Bauhaus, this is the one that commonly comes to mind. Designed by Marcel Breuer, the Wasilly chair is a mix of steel and leather,
using no more material than is absolutely needed, while providing maximum comfort. It's a design you'll still find in homes today.
