alt Hacker NewsNC750 is 750cc. Very big super costly bikes are an American thing. Third world works perfectly fine with a 50CC - 150CC for under $1000, to a super premium bike 300CC if you want to show off.
You always have the option to spend more. America has this macho bike person stereotype to live upto where you must buy a bike close to 1000CC.
I live in Switzerland tho. But might be true, it's "big" because of mountains and because I actually use it to commute and travel on the autobahn which is no fun if you are slower than anyone else. Most people here have 500-800cc
