In reply to Nick (LUCAS) Comstock:
Current steed is an '07 R1200GS Adv. It's a civil beast, and super versatile for touring, light off-road, camping... even a little canyon carving - but it's an SUV of a bike. Stop/Go city traffic is ponderous and because it's really wide - forget lane splitting or taking advantage of a half a lane to scootch by a 1000 cars waiting in summer beach traffic.
The FZ-09 is tiny, naked, light, flickable... 120hp 3 cyl. So yeah. An upright sport bike that I don't need to sit on my heels to hoon around on. Plus - I think it's sexy. And pretty cheap.
