Size matters NOT! It is how you use it?
I have three bikes 2 BMW's (k75 and a GS650) I also have a hair dryer AKA the Honda SH50...
In rush hour I can still get into the centre of Manchester faster than a car... And that includes BMW's too   . I am limited to 25 MPH as she is getting old and the speed restrictor needs adjusting! But I make that speed through all the traffic jams.
The snobbery I see when on the hair dryer is staggering from cagers, and bikers are marginally better, but remind them, hey everyone has to start somewhere, and I can go out on a big(er) bike when I want to or even use the car if I have an hour to waste!
If the snobbery continues I ask them why their (BMW) only has 4 cylinders and is missing 2? then tell them I have one car which has 6.... and 2 other bikes.
Most of the year the hair dryer is more fun to commute with than a car, goes point to point as well, cheap to run and has free parking nearly everywhere.
