bones will (hopefully) agree with me- slow bikes are heaps dangerous, so why on earth would you buy your wife a SLOWER one? If shes petite, get her a 600. if shes normal sized get her something bigger. if shes bigger again, well she aint ever gonna fit through the bedroom door no more anyway...
the only place for mopeds from my exsperience is a place like holland where they share the cycle paths. cycle paths even have their own traffic lights there!

AH-HA, I gotcha now! You forgot breaking the pansy, limp-wristed, tree-hugging, commu-nazi speeding laws! Flipping the plate on a bike so you can run a red is way easier than rigging something up in your car... :police:
Of course, you guys can actually turn on a red *LEGALLY*, so it hardly makes that much of a difference. ::)

I do and don't agree. At least with power to spare you can get yourself out of trouble in the blink of an eye, but at the same time you can get yourself into heaps of trouble if brain is not corrected to right wrist. Big bikes accelerate MUCH quicker than they can ever stop.
One things for sure, fast bikes are a LOT more fun. Something special happens when you put a 150 horsepower engine on two wheels. Mine could lift the front wheel going from 3rd to 4th gear at around 200km/h.
And lets not quickly dismiss the chick factor when it comes to hot bikes. They love them!

Speaking of turning on red.
In the US can you legally make a left turn on red onto a one way street? It is functionally identical to making a right turn on red onto a normal street.

No, I do it frequently. but no.
