Then the Japanese came in and showed the market that small cars don't have to suck. I wonder if such a revolution will come around for little bikes.

My little brother is in the market for a motorcycle now, he has chosen the SV650 preferably SF, but also willing to get an S. Too bad we don't get the smaller SV400 here in merica'. My little brother isn't poisoned by the same love of small engines that I am.
I thought that was happening right now, that's why Honda was considering bringing the RR to the U.S. Guess not...

Has your brother ridden much before? The SV is a great bike (I have 2) but not super easy to handle if you are learning (no matter what rookies say).

Tell him to check out svrider.com for all things SV.
