I test rode a new 2014 Star Bolt and I HAD to have one. I really liked my FZ6R, but I fell in love with the Bolt.
I know it's not the smartest thing in the world $$$$ wise to trade in an FZ6R with only 700 miles on it, but my dad dropped dead of a heart attack one day after his 48th birthday and I'm 48 years-old now so I said screw it...if I want something that really does not cost too much $$$$ I'm gonna buy it! The dealer took it out of the crate yesterday morning and I rode it home that afternoon with one hell of a big smile on my face. My wife gave it a big thumbs up as I passed her on the way home.
Also, the insurance on the Bolt is about 50 percent lower than it was on the FZ6R, so at least I'm making up some $$$$ there.
