Despite my better judgement I decided to go ahead and buy it. I'm calling it my early birthday present to myself since I am turning 30 this year. It is such a sweet ride in so many ways and I am super excited to ride it despite my guilt. This does mean that my trusty ZR-7 will be trying to find a new home in the near future. If anyone is looking for a great commuter and weekend warrior bike, then let me know!
