Why cant we have a hinged tank cover and saddle .So simple for Honda to do this .It would make is soooooo easy to change the air filter and do various work .Honda are so far advanced that they are going backwards now :)

Yeah...I've had several Honds with hinged seats. Granted I usually ended up taking them completely off anyway but it would be nice for minor repairs and road side situations.

I must agree with you.  Changing an air filter is a 2 to 4 hour job and you have to disassemble the upper half of the bike.  I am disappointed with the engineering on this issue.
