Being a single, it requires a fairly large flywheel to run smoothly, which translates to even more sluggish operation compared to a twin 250. Power is a double edged sword with a motorcycle. It can get you into trouble, but it can also save you in a pinch. That's not to say that everyone needs a liter bike, but something with some oomph that requires a certain degree of self control for everyday riding isn't a bad thing either.

this one is a parallel twin.... but what you said still applies.
