The "bigger is better" attitude in the US is the reason we miss out on a lot of nice motorcycles. The only way for small bikes to sell well here would be to go to a tiered licensing system like the ones used in other countries.

Now there's the perfect solution: The government needs to force us to buy bikes that we don't want.
[/quote]I DID NOT infer that the government force anything on us. There are some of us who like smaller displacement motorcycles but because of the "bigger is better" attitude we'll never get the opportunity. As far as the tiered licensing system, that would be the only way to get these bikes brought to the US. Also, a new rider having to start at the low end and work their way up the ladder would have better skills by the time they reached the top level.
