Ferret; I think the problem is perceptions. A 500cc bike gives a person different expectations and perceptions than one labeled 1100cc's. Magazines don't help matters as the young writers seem to be HP fanatics. Which is not helped by folks that get fatter as they get older and "need" more hp just to maintain a certain performance level. This segways into another topic - your coffee shop or cafe bike. I'll start a new thread for that.
