No car driver would put up with having his 2008 car running on 1970s headlights, but that's the plight of motorcyclists. We need lights that show the near edge of the road while canted left, and the far when canted right, and all the variables in between. If we can have fly-by-wire throttles and the best tyres ever available, why can't we ride at night with headlights that actually light??
