Two recent bike "innovations" puzzle me - okay, I'll be honest, i think they are dumb and pure fad.
Raising the crank location on the new husaberg motor is not a good thing - it will make the bike feel heavier side to side due to increased gyro effect.
The new BMW G450 - placing the countersprocket at the pivot point for the rear swingarm means less "bite" when accellerating - the rear end doesn't squat under accelleration. This has been tried before and abandoned due to poor behavior...
