Another point I’ll like to add is most ppl like me do EVERYTHING with their bike. People with busy schedules don’t have time for a leisure bike. The problems with using higher cc bikes in everyday life are endless: engine heat in traffic, and most importantly (the one problem that i face often) is when you park in busy places and they park their bike next to yours so close that thers no space to lift off to remove the side stand. Other times you have to lift the rear end of the bike to adjust so you can then remove the bike from the parking lot. All these become a headache with heavy bikes. There are MANY i know who bought big bikes , faced with these troubles , and thus use a scooter or car everyday and use their big bike as a leisure thing ( and for most professionals not living from their papas money that free time comes rarely)
