Amazing what riding a bike with new tech will do. You went to a bike, what, 9 years newer? I went to a bike 13 years newer.

; Seriously, technology is amazing... Fuel injection ALONE makes a huge difference, but the weight difference is noticieable too, even in just pushing it around out of the garage and into the driveway....

I'm not sure... I just know we're talking about riding. I'll letcha know once we decide (and of course, that's the one day this week we're supposed to possibly get rain, so it might be last minute... )

Awesome choice of bikes Neebs I've been drooling over the red '08 I've had sitting in the showroom for a while but I've got to be practicle so I'm on an FZ1 as soon as I sell the VTX.

You should have held out for an '09 though...it's going to be awesome!!! Of course they're also going to be $12,500. I can't wait for January to get here so I can see one in person.

Enjoy the new ride girl!
