I wonder

I wonder how much longer the motorcycle is going to stay in its present format. It seems to me that the ability to move mass inward while cornering is solely relied upon the rider shifting their weight and this approach has reached its greatest reward. In the future the weight shift will be from articulating the central mass on a pendulum in the same way the new video cameras attached to the racers bikes. I am hoping that a whole new engineering related to the motorcycles function is just around the corner. I also wonder if a racesuit that can move mass toward the apex cannot be developed or a heavy liquid that can transfer from left to right through tubes into the shoulders and knee-pucks?

If I could be so grossly incandescent.

I thought this was the future of motorcycling at one time...
