In Popular Mechanics there was an article giving the length of time between drawing board and production among cars, planes, motocycles. Interesting that the MC industry had the shortest, 18 months it roughly takes from start to finish!! With how fast they rush development there will certainly be backlash and flaws that weren't there the production year before, but when bike mags stop nitpicking everything, the end product almost definitly kicks ass compared to previous models. My bike by no means compares to a 00 6R...stock that is.
