Our best asset and most crucial defense against being food for a cage is our ability to accelerate and the tiny cruisers don't have what it takes.

And if you're worried about price, last spring I bought a 4 yr old Shadow 750 for 3k, about the price of a new 250.
I never said that. I use to own an 06 Ninja 250 and it had mroe then enough power around town. I just simply want a cruiser that I can see 70 mpg out of while hardly ever going over 60 mph.
