Thanks for the link. Its a shame Popular Mec. had to do such an article. Where is the comparo test with the bike mags I never seem to read anymore?

A few years back ATV's were touted as being the fastest growing segment of motorcycling. I have no real information to back this up but I believe dual sporting/adventure touring is now the fastest growing segment.

Whatcha think folks?

Scooter.

DPs may be the fastest 2 wheel niche market but 4 wheelers are HUGE nationwide

Good piont, how are ATVs motorcycles. I really like my ATV but if it were an either/or situation. Scooters hands down! I use my ATV for this kinda stuff usually.
