Shotgun's unexpected market?

 This article is written by a rider in Manila in the Philippines, which apparently has appalling traffic. The author claims that as a consequence, cruiser style motorcycles are not very popular. He notes that the Shotgun is different, that it is more nimble than regular cruisers. Does this point out to an untapped, potentially large, market at large urban areas?
