Yes, I recently saw a video of someone on the street in India

You do what you gotta do.

First off, in the US a 350cc bike is considered marginal to ride down to
the Stop'n'Rob for a sixpack. Back in the '90s I have a 400cc Yamaha
Seca I put a lot of miles on both on pavement and on goat tracks so
that's bull.

 
A Honda 50 should be good enough for anyone :-).

I wouldn't mind having one of those to putter around on, I've got a Suzuki
DR650 but at 350 lbs it's not the easiest thing to pick up. otoh, it is
happy at 85 - 90 mph so I don't get run over.

The 125cc Super Cub might be semi-feasible around town but there's about a
200' high bump between me and town. At least there's a wide shoulder I
could ride on as it ascended the mountain.
