The article says several times they are 400cc twins.....the engine is a single cylinder.

I wonder how many were sold in the US?  I don't believe the market for a small motorcycles is significant yet - our highway speeds just aren't friendly to a bike that can't go 70mph easily.

For relaxing rides on rural roads or downtown streets - a smaller bike is great.

No , the writer was saying the twins that share a 400cc motor.  Scrambler and Speed are their names .
I saw it and gave the writer the benefit of "mis-wording" the statement but still knowing what they were trying to relay.

The writer mess up and the editor didn't have enough knowledge to catch it , it don't say anything good about the rag they work for !!!  

Short runs on the interstate are "OK" even on my little 350cc , it's geared to redline 5th gear at about 85mph.
But
Ridding on the "Interstate" ain't no fun anyway , 65mph is so much more pleasant  .   IMHO

It wouldn't make me mad if we did like a lot of the other countries  and had a National 100-110km/hour speed limit and camera's to enforce it.
... Just think of how much taxes could be lowered if the 80mph group payed all the bills ...  

or
I can just take the secondary roads to where I'm going.

Yep....I was confused by the way it was worded.  (Sometimes I am easily confused).
