Basically bikes are as economical or less than a car which weighs X times more?How is it that this is so, that the manufacturers seems to have closed their eyes. They only seem to want to replicate a Moto GP bike as a luxury toy. Has no-one told them there has been a global recession for several years now???Have they not looked at their tumbling sales figures or the rapid rise of small scooter sales, a bike which is quite limited in its overal use and noticed oh look there is a massive glaring gap in our product range?I'm mystified, oh and getting poorer but maybe I am missing something obvious like?Seems there is a potential opportunity for a new Henry Ford of motorcycles. Wish it could be me.I changed from car to largish scooter and I have no intention of changing back as I just find it much less stress to drive and park and filter through traffic and get down those scenic little lanes and of course cost to run and I believe I am also helping to "save the planet".Sorry about deviating but there must be other similar examples were we (well more and more of us) need to transition.</blockquote>
