we have one at the fairgrounds near my home. it is packed. lots of 250cc cruiser type bikes used for the class.

I taught these classes up here many years ago. Yours is a false perception. The full classes and difficulty getting into them is a function of the lack of instructors, not a function of increasing ridership. Most areas just cannot find enough people to teach these classes. It's a big commitment, with the only real "pay" being the satisfaction of having helped out. That runs out pretty quickly for a lot of people.
