It's more Fun to ride a small bike fast ... Than to ride a fast bike slow .😀

Yeah, small displacement are making a comeback. It's about time. It's mostly been in the 300cc class and I look forward to more offerings in the 300 to 600 class. But here is where the OEM's will completely F' it up; they will continue to offer these bikes with budget components. There are a few that see the market for high-end small displacement bikes (KTM & BMW), but the Japanese manufactures still equate displacement with features. For once I'd like to buy a bike and not have to start modifying to replace the crap that Suzuki/Honda/Kawaski/Yamaha have bolted to it.

A 418 pound Kawasaki 250....a 374 pound BMW 310?
Sounds a bit bulky to be a "small bike" the way I remember them.

Like to see a naked version of that , without the bodywork , loose 20 to 30 lbs and lowered somewhat !
Yamaha SR400 384 lbs , air cooled , still a little porky
Liquid cooled will always be heavier
This is why we build our own bikes to personalize to our size & vision of what a motorcycle should be and what it should be capable of !

The larger bikes are also being priced more and more out of the market.

I thought this Honda 223s is a cool little bike.
Only available in Japan I believe.
I'd love to take one for a spin

And Australia get this cool little Suzuki 250LC twin.
I'd like to take a test run on it as well.

Our S40 deserves to be presented like that neat Honda! Too cool! Flat seat would do it!
