Thanks Mani
Sorry about your bike
About the Buell comments, I am planning to test ride one soon and I`ll see for myself if I like it or not. I will also try the XB12, which I am looking at as well of course. I am not necessarily looking for a machine that will outperform the FZ... I don`t think my motorcycle record would recommend that anyway.
What I am looking for is something with torque down low, that I will have fun riding in the city, and in the twisties... a killer "clean" streetfighter look and state of the art technology on top of it helps a lot too
