I really thought I would be able to wait until next year or so before I got back into the sportsbike game.
I sold the Fizzer, what, a couple weeks ago and I am already pining hard for a sports bike.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Harley. For me, taking a long relaxing ride on it is so fulfilling, and more fun than the 6R for such riding.
But I already miss the fun blasts round corners and such. I may not be able to hold out.
The moment of truth...yesterday while riding the Harley to the office, I hit the on-ramp to 95, started leaning the Harley, and then for kicks, I started straightening the bike while hanging off the right side.
I'm sure it looked thoroughly retarded to the minivan in back of me, me trying to hang off a Softail. And as you'd guess, it wasn't nearly as rewarding.
Grrrrrrrrrr.
So now I'm starting to put together a window shopping list. R6? Monster? CBR? What?
(Not that I regret selling the Fizzer...I did it for the right reasons and had the other project not come up I would have been looking to trade in or move up anyways. But I still do miss it.)
