I am not here to dish on automatic motorcycles, although making fun of Honda’s tragic new DN-01 is good fun, like harpooning a carp in a martini glass. If you haven’t seen one of these grotesqueries, it’s what happens nine months after a nice young sportbike from Teaneck, New Jersey, off her anti-psychosis medication, had one tequila shooter too many and was date-raped by an unemployed scooter and his no-good friend, a middleweight metric cruiser with a minor criminal record. |

I just got back from the 2010 Harley-Davidson model line-up press introduction, the usual three days of fun and frolic.

So if you’re like 11.2 percent of California’s workforce, you’ve been downsized and are now, like me, spending a great deal of time at home in your underwear watching Oprah.

With the motorcycle market, not only are sales of large-displacement bikes going down, but the few segments that are growing include small-displacement motos and scoots.

How fast do you need to go, anyway? Nowadays, a lot of new riders are being steered to middleweight supersport bikes, machines that are designed so million-dollar-a-year expert roadracers can pack corporate trophy cases in Hamamatsu and Kanagawa. |
