That is a good bike. My brother-in-law has one. "Most stolen bike in America" it seems
- he's proud of that!

I like it.
I'm already thinking about trading it for a sport bike though.
Maybe an R6 or CBR600.
I also like the SV650 and the Kawi Z750... and yamaha's naked 600, I can't remember what it's called?
Z-750

I like that bike (Z-750). I really like the ZRX, but 1100/1200cc is more than I need! The Z750 was rated highly in a mag I read lately (forget which one). Said the 750cc bike is probably best all-round. Speed and power without towing all that engine weight. I am a big Kawa guy, so if you go with that you'll see no complaints from me... just
jealousy!

Well, on my lunch break I went to the Kawi place and sat on the Z1000 (they didn't have any Z750's in stock) and it felt alright. The seat may have been a little firm but the salesman said you would break it in pretty quickly.
How much do you think I'd lose if I did decide to go ahead and sell my bike now? In this month I've had it I put on 750 miles and had it's first service done. Still in brand new condition.
Oh, and I also bought a 4 year extended warranty.
