I couldn't agree more. Therefore I don't see any problem with a big one here.

I have no problem with your bike or you in the team (is it really a team ?), actually, I am interested in ecomodding my bike but I am a very lame hypermiller : I always find a very valid reason to road race my bike.

Quite the opposite here - I find my fun in hypermiling, but modding is not really my cup of tea. Using a bit higher tire pressure doesn't need any extra, trying another windshield angle did not do any good, and the kawasaki front wheel (not done by me, but my mechanic) is not for FE reasons, but because I hope it's more durable than the original one. To be honest, I can't even cut a piece of paper straight, I'd be no good at custom mods...

Honestly, I wouldn't buy one but then I have only a 12 mile commute

Even Teresa is kind of too big for the 2*14-mile commute of mine (a 125 would be perfect here, these are all nice back roads and village and suburban roads), but she's a multipurpose bike, and have been my only vehicle for almost 4 years. I have crossed the country 2-up with her, sometimes with a top case full of books or other heavy luggage so I don't really regret my choice. Oh, and I almost forgot - I started with a 2*38 mile commute mostly on a motorway, just moved closer to my workplace later.
