3. Lets look at it for what it is first.

Someone who wants a crotch rocket buys one. Same goes for all other kinds of bikes. There's a reason all the different companies keep making and selling a particular line of bike- for someone, that's the perfect bike. I'm saying the same thing here. I can see how it appeals to someone who would be looking for a Sportser, but not a Hyabusa.

It's about 80 cubic inches, and that's plenty of power for it. (There are some powerful twins smaller than that, but they're the metric bikes). The biggest reason I said the Sportser market though is because of the size, the second reason is because all the metric bikes in a similar class come with more to them, like at least a pad and pegs for a passenger.
