IF all I had to do was a small commute through city streets a smaller bike would make a lot of sense.
My problem is that I put 100,000 kms on a bike in 4 years, and it has to carry my lardy arse and all my gear for work 80kms every day, as well as do time in the weekend.
At my current rate of progress I'll be on a Rocket 3 in three bikes time.
Sometimes I wish there was room in my life for a wee bike, but I just know that, given how I currently use them, I'd kill one in six months. 
Oh - and I have four children too.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
