Too bad. Motorcycle makers are not willing to put very many smaller bikes in US showrooms, they'd rather sell you a bigger $$$$ bike, you rich Yankee!!! :? Smaller bikes in the US now are all "beginner bikes", bikes you want to get rid of after a while 'cuz they really aren't great rides for a rider who has developed a basic level of competence. There are darn few exceptions to this, like the Vulcan 500 cruiser. 8)MattO said:
