very nice bike

Those that like the sport bikes just keep coming back to them. Before I got my little GS500F last May it had been like 18 years since I had ridden. Last bike was a Ninja 900 (like Tommy Cruise rode in Top Gun...yeah a while ago). Anyway, I looked around, climbed on bikes at three different places and knew I was home the moment I got on the Suzuki. Price was foremost but knowing how the sport bikes corner and handle plus the newer lower seating position, it was easy to pass up the cruisers.

Glad your back where you belong ZZR. Now....who the hell is living in the 80s behind you with the multiple freaking supersized satellite dishes? Looks like an old tactical intel center from the 80s behind ya! Call codes and tell them your grass is dying from lack of sun light from those things!

That belongs to the lady behind me, I think her husband was a TV/vcr repairman, but he passed away a long time ago.

Heli Bars

Rode an ST1100 with them installed and they can make an amazing difference in hand/arm comfort. If all my bikes were not old jalopies I would have them on my long distance bike.

I am looking at genmar risers and see how they feel along with a good throttle lock. If that does not work I might get the helibars.

I know.

Yeah, I think I enjoy leaning too much to ever be happy with a cruiser. I think my next bike will be an FZ6 or maybe even FZ1 if I'm feeling bold. Probably better to step up to a modern 600 in power before going liter, though. Current ride is a 95 Yamaha Seca II, my first. 600ccs, but a darn sight lower on the power scale than today's 600s. Might not be the fastest thing on the block, but it gives me a nice rush when I open it up still. And I can drag pegs when the spirit moves me.

mmmmmmm

Genmar makes some good risers, I used them on my R1100s BMW for a while, along with a throttlemeister throttle lock. Both worked out very well, almost miss them sometimes.

I thought about the FZ1, I sat on a few and they felt comfortable, but I did not ride them.

I sat on one but did not ride it and I did not like the way it felt when I sat on it, but the warrior is not as fast as the ZZR.
