    the GP800? Yes - I saw that, definitely blurring the line between the
    two - with 16" front wheel it's basically an automatic step-through
    bike, rather than a scooter in the old sense - sort of Akira-esque
    too.

    Makes a lot of sense.
    Hmm, why would a commuter want something thats comfortable, smooth,
    reasonably rapid, easy to ride and has sufficient underseat storage to
    house waterproofs, day clothes and a laptop?

    Try one. They are a bit different. Not for me, but I can understand why some
    folk like them. They are a real hoot to ride and surprisingly rapid[1].

    A couple of instructors round 'ere use them in preference to bikes as they
    are comfy, smooth and you can keep your spare L plates, levers, radios,
    waterproofs, butties etc under the seat. There is enough performance in
    them to cope with DAS and they are not as frustrating as never getting out
    of second gear when doing CBT road rides with 'ped riders. You must have
    BTDT.

    [1]Well, up to 60-70 anyway. The Silverwing had similar performance to a
    GS500. I've had a play on a Yamaha 250 ( Majesty? ), Burgman 400 and a
    Honda Silverwing. I can see the attraction.

    My GS is quite confortable, my panniers cost me £20 and hold everything I
    need.
    I know what you mean about second gear but it's not a problem, I would query
    using them for DAS though, the rider shouldn't be able to get away from you
    and they might if you are seperated by traffic and they are on a SV650 and
    you on a scoot.

    One of my colleagues does CBT's on a Bandit 1200 and one on a Blade. Though
    I would fancy doing it on my 10R.

    me too - I especially like the pic with it "off road" with all 3
    wheels off the ground.
    heh.
