Well, think how hard they push the bikes now. They do ridiculous things like replace pretty much every piece of steel with titanium and aluminum. They actually start with a pile of engine and a bucket of titanium and aluminum fasteners and assemble it all up. So many things. I don't know if any of you guys subscribe to Dirtrider but in their latest issue they had an article about all the little tricks each factory bike has done to it. I almost cried at some of the things they do. They actually change engine mount thickness to better suit the rider. How are you so good that you can tell the little flex in the frame means something. Makes me smile. Maybe I will scan the article or something.
