Seems like the trend is up-sizing,
Honestly, I've had more shear fun of riding going smaller. Sure I can't burn up superslab miles like before (restricted access do to engine size) and I top out (full throttle) at about 60 mph (96-100kph) on flat road (of course 10"(25-26cm) tires and a 4'(122cm) wheelbase feels scary fast coming from the big loping cruiser) But I have no regrets and glad I did.
Besides, around here people are used to seeing big cruisers and adventure bikes loaded up for trips zipping about. But show up loaded for adventure with a scooter or smaller ride and folks always want to talk to you when given a chance...And me? hell, I'll talk to anyone, that's part of the reason I do this, to meet people and get out of my cube and look up from the computer/phone (or what have you) and see something new and interesting.
