if we learn anything. I remember how small import cars became more popular in 
the late 70s and early 80s after the gas shocks of that era. However, it didn't 
take long after gas got relatively cheap again for people to go buy SUVs and 
trucks that they rarely really needed. Now we have all these road monsters 
blazing along our highways at maximum speeds, and their drivers whining about 
how much it costs to fill their huge fuel tanks.

the basis of fuel savings alone. Fun factor might help, but fuel alone is tough 
to justify. I am thinking about using my RS to commute sometimes this year once 
the weather gets a bit drier here in the Great NorthWet. 50 mpg is better than 
the average 25-26 in my Honda Prelude. Additionally, given that I own it, I 
would not need any additional investment. Though it would have excess 
performance and weight compared to a smaller bike, the difference in mileage 
would make another investment even harder to justify. Besides, my dear, sweet 
wife thinks a One Motorcycle Rule is a good idea. I never understood it, but I 
love her anyway. ;-)
