I'm not so sure that your arguments hold much water Kit. Lighting? with todays lighting advancements (LED'S, HID's) ect) just about any bike could be made to shine nearly as bright as the Sun. Power? All of the 600 cc. sport bikes being made today are over 100 hp. That's plenty when you start calculating the power to weight ratio. They can squirt away from a potential hazard quicker than a Wing. Flashy, reflective clothing, decals, Where a person rides their bike in traffic (staying out of blind spots, ect) can all be used to make a rider more visible in traffic. I like the big bikes for their comfort factor. Their stability on the open road and their ability to carry more. I am a big fan of having the ability to carry a woman on my bike in relative comfort. If mama ain't happy..........

____________________ The 1800 is my bike. The very best motorcycle ever made. I was enthralled with my first test ride on this machine. It is a great bike. A crotch rocket with storage bags.............As for oil I use the slick kind, and I like round tires, but as of late I have found square ones work best on the rear.

I just wish we could have more leg room for us taller riders as they could bring the handle bars back some and make the seat slideable by a couple of inches. I back seat is a hauler all of the time when needed for such. It's by using my good friends called bungy cords to type down my biker bag.

Over in the UK we have quite a few Ladies that ride trike's and the odd motorbike and side-car however I can only think of two solo riders, One rides a 1200 and the other rides an 1800,
