Air-cooling is OK for a thumper or a parallel-twin, but in a V-twin it becomes a PITA. And there were 125cc V-twins at least in Europe. But anyway, since liquid cooling improves thermal management, it's not a bad idea at all. At least for the flexfuel motorcycles available here in Brazil, it would be a great improvement in order to make it easier to use ethanol year-round.
