My first bike was a CB125 back in the seventies. The only really small displacement bike I've had since then is an old Yamaha RD125 which I recently sold. The problem with small bikes in anything other than a low-speed city setting, is lack of torque (IMHO). You have to rev the piss out of it and do a lot of shifting to maintain speed on anything other than flat ground.
I do appreciate the advantages though: cheap to operate, good on tires, nimble, etc. but a 250 or 300 offers though attributes too, with more torque to boot.
