The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

In 30 years the neo-cyber-hipsters will be telling each other how much better 180 crank twins are than those plebian 270s that every classic bike has

I almost bought a really well-kept [first gen GSX-R with less than 10k miles about 3 years ago. I think it is the only bike purchase that I regret not making. Of course, that's because I bought all the rest :lol3

But I do regret not getting that bike. It was one of the first plastic-clad "superbikes" I saw as a kid.

Whatever comes along, I'll always think of that first GSXR when I think of speed, doing dumb poo poo, and edible panties (which is almost any, if you have a strong digestive tract).

Ok help me out here folks, twice I've lusted after some sweet naked rides only to be let down after a demo.

I currently ride a sweet '07 GSA with an Akropovic can and TRX suspension front and rear. Just love it to bits, but want to add a little zing to the stable as a second bike (gently used, I never buy new).

This past summer I rode:
Kawasaki ZRX1200
Ducati Monster S4RS

Both of these bikes I researched and read up extensively - I was so pumped to ride these classics. Cash in hand off I went to some prime specimens. After 5 mins on each, I turned around and brought it back to the owner. Why? Riding position for one. I don't have endless curves around me, closest thing to that are the on-off ramps to the freeway. Needlesstosay that comfort is rather critical. Not sofa comfort, but my wrists need to maintain feeling and not go numb after 15 mins.

In both cases, that 17" front wheel seemed downright scary at first. It was like the bikes read my mind when I wanted to initiate a turn, which was really weird. Just not used to how responsive that geometry is.

I was downright depressed after riding the Ducati. What a gorgeous machine.

How devastatingly old and useless do you have to be to think a zrx, the closest thing to a two wheeled diesel locomotive, has a sporty riding position or nervous handling?

This is your brain on BMWs
