Or in other cases, you will run into people that aren't salesmen that will tell you that same thing. Let me break that one down for ya in macho American "everything that's bigger is better" language....

That motorcycle is not near big enough to feed my massive ego, and it won't let people know how tough I am, it also wouldn't be comfortable for me to ride cross country on, (even though that same person not only never leaves town on their 80,000cc bike, but only puts 300 miles a year on it, because he/she can only take it out and ride it on the three or four perfect no rain/no chance of rain, not too hot, not too cold, absolutely no wind days a year).

O.K. I am back from my rant now.
