I agree with you on the need for small adventure touring bikes. I suspect we'll see that as an upcoming trend.
Exactly. The race for horsepower has skewed perceptions about riding, to the point some people say it's crazy to tour with anything less that 1000 cc. Or that my 462 lb, 64 hp vstrom or 600 lb Vulcan 900 are beginner bikes.
