I like your thinking! Especially if by tweak, you mean put it on a crash diet and increase the power output!

Yes...but the idea would be that Kawasaki would put it on a severe diet and apply some major cosmetic surgery. They did quite well in making the Downtown quite attractive.

Sorry! I have to disagree with StephenC when he says don't go big. Who would say no to a 900 or 1000cc scooter with a shaft drive and real touring capability and most importantly a real reason to stick two fingers up to the sports bike wankers? The ONLY criticism I can find in my TMAX? I wish it was bigger than a 500. go big, go very big.

Plenty?
There's only two, the Deauville and the Guzzi V7 at a sensible engine size.
