I wonder if they will ever start seriously looking at that as more
woman are starting to get into the sport. It just seems to be a
scale thing, the larger the engine the larger the bike (duh!). But
for someone who is inseam challenged getting on a bigger bore bike
that is not a cruiser can be challenging.

Something like the zx4 might be a good step for shorter beginners.
