Wind pull/ mini-van/ semi truck vaccuum pull is something I did not think of.
And that is a valid point.
But, for me. My presumption of the trade off between that and weight/ stopping and cornering would not make up for it.
But there are a lot of people that really like bikes that only go in straight lines. So, I know I am in the minority.

FTA: "...and there are 50 more countries that have more than 500 vehicles per person."
I want to see the garages these people have.

The bike has the Chinese white-hankie guarantee. The salesperson waves a white hankie as you pull away, and as long as you can see it, you are covered.

I converted my DR650 to a "supermoto". It now has 17" tubeless, laced wheels with GPR300 tires. The front brake is upgraded to a 320mm disk. I had to change the speedometer drive to compensate for the change from 21" to 17" front. The rear dropped from 18" to 17". I also had to change the side stand to the shorter version for "lowered" bikes. All of the suspension is still full travel vs a factory "lower" that steals some travel to achieve the lowering. The bike rides smoothly. It is light, powerful and agile. I don't ride in the dirt anymore, so this was a good upgrade for the way I use the bike.

Proof that the Chinese don’t believe in the climate change crap. I was thinking the same thing but they also don't care about their homeland since they've polluted 1/5 of their farmland into being worthless for farming. That's a lot of land and poison in their soil which eventually gets into their ground water supply.
I don't buy the glowbull warming nonsense either but there's something be said for cleaner burning vehicles in densely populated cities. You can see the difference, especially in the summer. L.A. air pollution would hit the mountains above San Bernardino and just hang there. On most days during the summer you would be hard pressed to see the next traffic light a block away.
