Thanks, and yes I agree.

The Kawi guys mentioned how they were so glad the Z1000 was there, because they were getting to the age where they couldn't ride a full on race-bred sport bike all day anymore. While I don't think this bike is an "old man's" bike at all, I do appreciate the performance in a more comfortable package. There will come a day when I can't ride my 750 across the state and back.
