                  a) He's a designer, not an engineer
                  b) He's here to probably retire, because there's nothing to design, because REs have looked he same since decades.

                    It doesn't mean they have to look the same forever. They can change, why shouldn't a designer give an input for the engineer to work. If he felt the same, we wouldn't have seen diff versions from the Ducati or Confederate

                      So, going by your logic, there is no need to hire a builder, because you've hired an architect, and he would give you inputs.

                        So, can you construct a building without Architect inputs ??

                          They wouldn't have hired such a high profile designer if they didn't wanted to make something new.
                          Lets not have such negative thinking for RE. Atleast they are trying, instead of slowly becoming dormant.

                          Ride safe and have fun.

                            The biggest news in Indian Motorcycling gets two pages of comments, sad. This forum deserves to collectively do a facepalm.
