    Proportions on that Van Van seem off, which makes it a little harder to look at. I like the quote about "hipsters struggling to rebuild their vintage CB200"

    I don't know if I'm a hipster, no beard and probably too old, but I AM struggling to get my vintage Yamaha on the road.

    That Suzuki has been around for a while, and used to be a 125. It just hasn't been sold in the U.S. before.

    What I'd really like to see is a refreshed Yamaha BW350. Farm bike, trail bike, mud bike, and SNOW BIKE :)

    I would love a 200Van Van. I think the fact smaller bikes are becoming more common is a great thing.

    Gotta pick one up. As for Harley's move with this, I just got to say it does look sharp as a tack.

    Jeez, if working on all these vintage bikes makes me a 30 years younger "hipster", I'm GOOD!

    I couldn't agree more with Zach about smaller bikes being more common but I would add more fun too! I enjoy a "power run" down an empty stretch of road as much as the next guy but I LOVE riding my small Kaw 250/350 triple( a 250 triple with 350cc cylinders)! It's super light, fast for it's size and very easy in the turns!

    Wish someone made a 4 banger street bike like most of the XJ's were.

    They have revived the XJ in the UK.

    I should have been more clear...4 banger in smaller street bikes. I may be technically incorrect, but I don't consider an 1100 a "street" size bike...but I bought my XJ when a 550 was considered medium large!

    I actually like that SR400, even without electric start!

    Pull one spark plug. Instant 750 :)

    Seriously though, they are being made, but people over here aren't buying enough of them.

    I like the new street 750. I've seen a few already done fairly nice around here. Good price too for a Hd. My wife has a 883 sporty and I also have a 2016 fat boy special to go along with my 2 secas which get ridden more often than the fat boy Harley imo still hasn't came up to par yet to the other bikes in terms of reliability. 3300 miles on mine and it's into the shop for a new rear wheel and bearings
