Kurt, Your commute sounds a lot like mine. 10 miles - 35mph expressway, 3 miles of highway, 2 miles of 35mph road. I have a 96 750 and wouldn't want anything smaller. I've tried a small enduro (can't even remember what it was). It was underpowered and just not comfortable and felt slow compaired to the traffic around me. Plus on the occasions when I have to leave the office and get on a highway a 250 would not be good. If you're thinking about it for gas millage. Do the math: With your commute lets day you do 10,000 a year. 40mpg = 250 gallons of gas a year. 80mpg = 125 gallons of gas per year. At $5 per gallon you're only saving $625. For that price I'd rather have the size and power.
