Stopped by the local Honda/Suzuki dealer and checked out the showroom. Still can't find anything that makes me want to trade in the FZ. If I did more touring, then certainly a FJR would be on the short list but they're so dad-gum heavy that I can't imagine them being all that fun to ride in traffic and with the amount of riding I do (trips less than 20miles). I like the NC700, but am afraid I'd miss the 98hp the FZ puts out even if at high rpms. I also like the Vstrom, but again, I don't ride enough miles to warrant the upgrade cost. The Honda ST while nice, is old tech compared to the FJR and Concours and is still a pig.
Bottom line, the FZ6 is such a great bike for everyday riding, commuting, and overall ease of riding, there's just nothing else out there than can compete IMO. Plus, I love the fact that it's a beast when I want yet is easy enough to ride, I can casually flick it through traffic.
Oh well, my wallet thanks me and I don't have to duck and cover when I get home. :rockon:
