Absolutely.

But for manufacturers, I guess we will remember the research survey results published by MG in the now lost xBhp. The results for a 250 or even a relatively expensive 400 did not seem that bleak. From what I remember, a decent market seems to exist which is being TOTALLY ignored.

What I do feel is that it just requires a bit of courage and risk taking. No risk no gain, that we all know and they can sit back and stay in the unidirectional rut that they have got themselves into for ever so many years.

Yamaha broke the Litre class ice and exceeded their own expectations by nearly 300%. Someone needs to take that step that might embolden others.
