I used to commute in London on a ZX6R which always felt like a waste (apart from on the A41 'racetrack' on the way home ). I decided that a motard would be more suited so got one and swapped between the two bikes depending on my mood. The motard was about to get me into trouble though (got chased by the cops one too many times while being naughty ) so I went the sensible route, sold them both and bought a Honda SH300i. For a little scooter it was really nippy, and surprisingly stable around the bends. On my weekly Saturday race into work ( ) the scooter actually got my fastest ever time! It was comfortable, warm in winter, had great brakes (with ABS), fast enough and light on fuel. That one little bike changed all of my perceptions about engine sizes / horsepower / image. My old boss had the T-max - I was always impressed by the smoothness and stability of that bike, but it always felt quite big.
