European Maple as Bonsai?

Has anyone heard much about trying to Bonsai a European Maple?
I always thought the tree's on my road were just Sycamore tree's and never really paid much attention to them until I got into Bonsai.

I wikipedia'd the term Sycamore and low and behold it is the common name given to the European Maple tree. We used to throw the Samara's in the air when we were kids because they would spin to the groun like helicopter propellars.

I havent managed to find any info on making a Bonsai from these tree's so wouldn't know how well the leaf size would reduce etc, but one thing is for sure, I will have a whole bunch of seeds of both Red and Green tree's to try
