on the contrary why it should be??

OK lets see the what this bike mean.

1. It looks hot.
2. Its an air cooled, so heavy traffic is not a issue - one need not revv it harder.
3. Its for people who want style as well as it doesn't burn holes in the pocket.
4. It could be affordable.
5. Less on maintanence.
6. Seating posture suitable for commuting and mild touring.
7. Power and torque available at lower and mid RPMs. (usefull for city riding and relaxed engine = good for touring)

PS: don't get on me for saying a 150cc as a tourer. After riding my suzuki zeus for few short rides(120 - 125km one way) with top speeds around 90 to 100kmph and an average speed not less than 70kmph, I think a 150cc is a very good bike for small rides. It gives good FE and power adequate for our roads.
