This is a really good point; for many new owners, the tiny size (almost everything else on the road wouldn't even notice as they ran right over you), the noise, the stink, and the finickiness of an aircooled, combined with the ridiculous costs of parts and service (I doubt that many new owners spin their own wrenches), as no aircooled is "bulletproof", despite the myths that people like to perpetuate, likely gets old in a hurry (plus there is the "not fast" factor, if no turbo POWAAA is present
).
