I've got no clue why this popped into my news thread, but I thought I recognised, the cover star, so thought it might be of interest.

I won't argue with that.
Smiles per mile it's pretty much unbeatable.

^^^Zipping around on that, I'm not surprised it's a smile enducer.
I haven't ridden for years, but it's something to consider, as I spend a lot of time stuck in London's traffic.

Small displacement Motorcycle (Monkey bike)
In adventure bikes there is a big shift happening towards smaller and lighter with extended range. Even the Honda Africa Twin is looking too big these days. The BMW GS, Super Tenere, etc just aren’t what they used to be. I see it all around me in dealer stock.
My brother in law just hosted a “pit bike scramble” on his farm that was televised as part of the Nitro Circus. Even for the hardcore pros, they’re having fun on smaller displacement, too.
I think it’s a cool trend. If only Honda could fill demand for their CRF300 and 300 Rally models, I’d have one and just carry it on a hitch carrier out to the woods and get rid of most highway travel. Makes a lot of sense.
But small is coming back!
