Has anyone else seen this trend. I personally have not. I do agree that the entry level is kinda lacking/limited in the US (at least around me)

    Some very small cc bikes that would be more common in developing countries are making some in roads in the US. Some thinking outload about the financial conditions of the youth in there as well.

      What’s not good about that (other than finances)? You can buy a bike whatever size you want, from 49cc to 2.5L, and that’s a bad thing?

        Me personally? Nothing.

        The author of the video doesn’t seem to say so either. Just that it is unusual for the market.

            The thumbnail for the video literally says “this is not good” on it, so it’s not your fault for inferring something.

              Given the rant about genz not being as well off to be able to buy stuff felt like the “this is not good” meaning (to me)
