Because it's what I wanted, because I use my bike to commute back and forth to work weather permitting and I like the powerband and torque and the lower end of the liter bike, and finally because I also own a Ninja 500 and Honda F4I

FWIW, my trackbike will be a 600cc bike

If you can't tell by now, I really like the flowing lines of older bikes; I care not for the folded-origami-sharp edge look of the newer stuff. I also like simple...I like stuff I can work on myself without a hundred special tools and a laptop...I like to be able to see where the plugs are.........

Im pretty sure I can take apart my entire bike with the tool kit under my rear seat...Bikes are still very simple to work on...Even the Fuel Infucted Ones.
