Hello my name is Brian and I am a bike-a-holic.
So a year and a half ago I bought an FZ to get back into riding after a long hiatus and test the waters to see how I still feel about it after growing up with it from a very young age. I didn't spend much on the bike initially but have (laughably) probably doubled that investment fixing/improving/obsessing over my new toy to make it as good as it can be for me. Now that I realize that I'm hooked (again) and will likely continue to be a rider until I'm no longer physically or mentally able, I'm thinking long term towards the future. This bike puts a smile on my face every single time I ride it. It is ridiculously fast, handles better than anything I've ever had before, looks great, is reasonably comfortable, and best of all is of course paid for and cheap to insure. So why am I jonesing for a newer shinier more high tech ride? My "dream" bike is a SuperDuke GT. It's a bit like the FZ but with a crazy torque monster of a mill, and a full modern tech package to match. Please tell me why I shouldn't waste a bunch of $$$! Thank you for your insight.
