Maybe places with graduated licenses. I can't imagine it would be much fun if you had to load it luggage.

That was my thought, you put any weight on it at all, then any kind of altitude and it's going to be a dog.

There must be a market for small displacement adventure bikes

I'd like to have a smaller one for beating on, the GS is too big and expensive to abuse but that's a bit TOO small, I'm thinking 400cc minimum

Here's another option with a higher displacement but still easy to ride.
