I ride a 350cc cruiser and riding in inner city traffic is not difficult but no way can I compete with kapcais as I tend to cruise more. I have to pay attention when it concerns squeezing in between cars because I note the height of mirrors of some cars are the same as my mirrors. I agree with someone who said he who is skilled in balancing his ride has the edge in heavy traffic.

Yeah, the mirrors are really crappy. My previous bike's mirrors were lower. Hence, no problems. My current one rclxub.gif Have to be very careful. But when it comes to big bikes running in traffic, it kinda depends. My previous 600 was an inline 4 and it was a little more difficult to ciluk as the CG was a little higher. My current one is much easier to get around traffic due to better CG and also lower weight. I think most naked 650 twins or V as in my case, and above should be pretty easy in traffic.
