Kids who want to pretend to be boomers.
I heard the smaller monsters were actually pretty good. Easy to wrench on and cheap ($5k) on the used market because it's a "girls bike".

I really see the motorcycle market diverging between europe and everywhere else.
Between their ridiculous licensing scheme and emissions standards, the only bikes left on european roads by 2025 will be 125 scooters and electric bicycles..

But the engine is honestly more than you need, even on tracks (actual racers are very adamant about starting smaller unless you like highsides), and the insurance rates are beefed up to match.
Literbike dominance is actually the death of the common sportbike because the bike itself is an arugment against owning the bike itself.
manufacturers need to suck it up and make middleweights that put out less power, probably V twins and triples, with the comifer ergonomics and practical subframes of older sportbikes while keeping the light weight, mass centralization, and brilliant handling of recent engineering. And no, I do not mean naked, because Japan views a lack of fairings as an excuse to cheap out (lmao fz09 suspension).

Gearing and weight. Plus some scooters have pretty poor cooling design.

Honestly, I've wanted one for a while just to fuck around on. You should do it!
And then after you do, post pics in the /scoot/ thread!

>Why
Because 50cc scooters actually only have 4 and a bit horsepower, not 7.
