How do you know which bike to buy?

That's because you're a woman and women tend to be more sensible than men.

I know that I gave reasons for making my choices, but those were pretty much bullshits. It's more like, "ooh, I like it...I MUST HAVE IT!!!" and out comes the check book.

The problem is I only ride street, so I don't wanna tear up the streets because they have laws against that. This summer I'm gonna ride the crap out of the little thing and whether I'm bored or not ride it anyway. I'm gearing up for the next bike which has to primarily get around town and well. I would like something to be able to take on longer trips (250 miles per day), something that isn't afraid of the twisties, but isn't too punishing. Right now it seems to be the z1000 z750s fz6, sv650s (not the best tourer by all means but capable) f4i. Those seem to be the key tickets lately. Lemme know what anyone thinks.

If you are serious, I may have my Z up for sale before long...

The only thing I don't like about the 750 so far is the front suspenders! I'd love to be able to change damp. rates. Other than that, it looks like what I'd want for day to day.
