I agree with your opinion. I love 8448 and I bought it because I had missed
out on 8880. At the time too I didn't realize that Lego had done a gear box
before and was absolutely enthralled by its construction.
But even with 8448, for all its improvements, there has been lots of debate
over whether its a better set than 8880, and it must be admitted that
despite its quality, it lacks the originality of sets like the space shuttle.

Actually, while I'm not a technic addict, I absolutely adore the motorcycles
and am trying to collect every single one(without paying too much money of
course.)
I too would love to see a larger version with additional functionality and
that more closely resembles a real street bike. I would almost prefer a
model team-type bike in this respect since I would like to see a real
treatment of a fairing.
