Bike looks a bit small for that rider. Would be a nice bike for my 5'6" wife..

My guess this and the 500 will be targeted to new riders (price point) and female riders (ergonomics).

750 seems small now, but I remember it being huge when I rode a suzuki t500 in `69.  http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/Smileys/CVO/shocked.gif

Should be a nice ride for the 19 to 24 starter age, I had a 350 Honda when I was 21.

[D-N-D]

I agree it looks small ??

I'm 6 foot 225 and to me it feels really small. I did not feel comfortable sitting on it, just a little to cramped up for me. I'm sure it will be a nice starter bike but unless things change, thats about it. I hope the price is not $7500 because I do not feel that will be a price point a young rider will afford, as they can get other new bikes in that size range for less. Going to have to wait and see I guess for them to get released and see how they sell.

The target market was smaller riders.  At least 1/2 if not more of these scooters will be sold in Asia.  And with the Low, Super Low, and Slim offerings of the last few years, the MoCo has already been trying to adapt existing scooters to the short legged market.  Tentative pricing that I have seen would seem to be a little high.  Especially in the 500cc market.

Some are saying that it will be much less expensive in Asia.  It the MoCo goes that route, I think it will bite them in the ass sooner than later. 

Only concern I would have at this point was the comment about the brakes.  I would thought that the MoCo would have put enough brakes on it to make it stop on a dime.  As light as it is, it wouldn't have cost any more, just a little more pad and rotor.

you hear this a lot, but it is kind of misleading.  overall, they will probably sell a ton more of those overseas, but the ones that are here in the states are not going to be for overseas sale.

anyone else notice that the spark plugs are on the wrong side 

[Steve Cole]

Plugs are on both sides!

It looked like it is the same cylinder head front and rear just turned around for the rear so you end up with one plug on one side and one on the other.
