I've only got four, now, so I'm willing to do my part for the cause. Besides, I've always wanted one of those crotch-cruiser dual purpose bikes.

OK Tek, so you beat me by fourteen seconds while I was critiquing (damn the spell-checker, full speed ahead!) my own post.

Crotch-Cruiser, eh?

I think I saw one of those guys in the men's room at the bus station, but he turned away when I caught him glancing at me...

Let me guess, custom crotch whatevers (Rune??) pulling up the motorcycle industry by it's boot straps?.....cue Special Ed...yeaaaaaaaa!

Did I read wrong or does it actually say demand is going down? Believe CNN wrote this title. 4.9% is less than 6.8% in SC. Is it different where you are?

The article appears to say that demand is increasing and is projected to increase, just not at the same rate of acceleration that it has in the recent past.

I believe what they are trying to say is that the past growth-rate was 6.8%, but the new growth rate will be 4.9%. There will be continued increasing demand (growth), just not as fast as before.

My demand for motorcycles is increasing, too. There are about 20 different models I'd consider owning. Sadly, only one is a Honda.

The Federal Gov't calls that a cut!

Crotch-cruiser? Thats funny. A dual purpose isnt much like either, although you might have known that. Its a different, higher-up ride than the other two. Acceleration and speed about like a Sportster 883, nothing like a sportbike. The thing with a dual purpose with a 35 to 37" seat height is you have the same view of the road as someone in an SUV. Theres almost a sensation of flying, youre sitting up so high.

 

[KLRer]

Of course if you step up to a KTM 990 Adventure, theres a lot more speed and acceleration to be had, still not up to sportbike standards, but enough to beat 99.99 percent of all production cars in the 1/4 mile.
