One of the stupidest things you can ever see is a skinny Asian dude riding a Harley.
Seriously, to ride a big bike you need the physical frame. Minimum requirement is a bot belly.
I can't agree with you more on this statement. It was a Malaysian friend of mine who also made this statement when we came across of a group of Harley riders here in Singapore, there was this one rider with Ape-Hanger bars on his fat-boy who looked kind of malnourished and I made a comment saying that I won't need anything more than 400cc, and that's when my friend pointed at that skinny rider and said that the only thing missing in that scene was a pot-belly and hair on his chest and I couldn't help cracking up.
In the seventies, I rode a 250, sometimes might borrow a 350 or a 500 for a spin, although there were larger bikes around, they didn't appeal to me, and the idea of "long haul cruising" never ever appealed to me - the weather, the bugs, and for the distance, I would choose the airconditioned and stereo comfort of a car.
Cheers!
