You won't regret it. I'm almost as fast through paved corners on this as I was my sportbikes, and I can go virtually anywhere. Boulders? Fallen trees? Mud pits? No longer barriers, but merely obstacles. I've lived here six years now, and it feels like I get to explore the place all over again.

Truth. I'm actually more comfortable on my DS in paved corners, even on knobbies, than I ever was on a sportbike.

I was full throttle into the wind today at a whopping 90 mph. My ZX-10R would do that in 1st gear. Do I miss the power? Not for a second.

I feel the same way about comfort in corners on a ds vs sportbike, but I totally miss the HP. I think it has to do with the body position and wide handlebars. I feel pretty damn comfortable on the FZ1 too.
