Re: Bike Designing
Designing a bike is not as simple as understanding the fundementals of how the swing arm is attached to the lower frame. Motorcycles may have revolutionary designs that break the mold of what a bike should be like. For example the Benilli Tornado(?) has an underseat radiator as oppossed to the traditional radiator positions. Sure the exterior of the bike is cosmetic but again it's engineered to have such a form that will befit how the surrionding air will travel around the bike. Wind tunnel testing is used to depict the design of the bike. You have to think of engine sizes and positions, which affect how other parts will be placed near it. So much more goes into designing automobiles and motorcycles that technical manuals can't provide.
