Great Small Engine Motorcycles You Will Never See in the United States

In Antigua we saw small engine motorcycles everywhere, 125-200 cc. Efficient and capable on the cobblestone streets, families driving around on one motorcycle. Americans would never be seen on such bikes. I did see one groups of American riders in Antigua- bmw r1100s, fully loaded with expedition bags and complaining about the bumps. The size of the motorcycles seemed excessive. 



Our original plan in Antigua was to rent motorcycles and ride them to the libraries. But the  motorcycle rental agency, CATour, said they had no bikes for those dates.... I honestly think there was more to it than that, but they weren't saying. Anyway, I would love to ride through Central America and down through South America one day.
