Engineering a NEW large displacement air cooled takes a bit more work for sure, after owning the CB for little more than a month I can tell you it is pretty quiet, again something that the author is wrong about. That article is just a summation of a person's bias, not based on fact.
I think he was referring to the 650 single S40 Boulevard, or LS650/Savage. A lot of these older air-cooled designs are likely grandfathered in, including the old XR650L and DR650S dual sports. Don't know how a lot of the Chinese-motored smaller bikes can get in legally though.
