The Evolution that we are talking about was kind of fast. If nature made millions of years before make this or this organism adapted to his environment, it just took 9 tiny years to see muting a part (always growing) of the motorcycle riders (with big bore licence).
Just one statistic : 350%.
This is the rate of bikers who now ride a scooter since 1998 only! At the same time, the whole market « just » grown by 33%!
The qualificative of « Revolution » would be better. But how are we arrived at this point?
What are the causes of such a mutation and what are the consequences on the national rads?
First we have to be precise and tell that this phenomenon is mostly Urban, and that is in the big cities that what I call « scootriders » (scooter rider with big bore riding licence). The reasons of such a behavioural change are all reunited in town and clearly visible.

At the same time, good parts of traditional bikes were added, Aluimnium Chassis, hydrolic front fork, adjustable suspensions and ABS to just name a few, become common to all scooters.
More, manufacturers were very smart by adding to some of their models some very special motorcycle specificities like sequential gear box (Suzuki Burgman 650 or Honda Forza 250).

Firsts who jumped the step, tired to hear jokes and jokes from their motorcycle rider friends said that the boot under the seat allowed them to not share with us their helmet and more, to make some shopping... But traditional motorcycle rider answer that a Top Case exists...
But the story became more complicated for motorcycle riders when they started to talk about the protection when it rains, and the bas ...

 Jezbo1 (04-07-2007): This article is just plain $h1te! Stick to motorbikes - you are not qualified to write on the THEORY of evolution which is just more $h1te! You wrote nothing of any value re., bikes so your article rated a '0' vote!
