I've owned and/or ridden since about 1978. Been a few years without a motorcycle. I don't need justification for one, but the wife does.....
Lets see, I've owned and/or ridden
1977 Yamaha XS 750 Special
1982 Kawasaki 750 LTD
1984 Kawasaki GPz 750 Turbo
1986 Suzuki GS 450 L
1995 Yamaha XV 535 Virago
Had to part with all my toys when we bought a house. Still in the reaquiring stage.....
Soon to own
Suzuki Boulevard S40
The S40 is the only thing new out there that "trips my trigger". The fuel mileage will just be a bonus!
Wish I would have kept the 450L, had a 6 speed transmission. Great on gas! Great commuter.
From what I've read wish Suzuki would put a 6 Speed transmission on the S40.
I may change jobs and will only commute about 40 miles a week instead of 480 miles a week. Either way still getting an S40. 8)
