Sometimes, the essence of an object is best revealed from angles seldom seen. Take the redesigned 2010 R1200RT, for example.

From above, affordances for generous wind protection and ways to obtain mile comfort stand out. This type of "form follows function" creativity is undoubtedly stirred up during long hours spent shaping the design in a wind tunnel. Regardless of how it came into being, the bivouac is once again blown away by the refinements in Motorrad land. Perhaps you, too, are thinking about your designs from all angles.
