Hey MZBuckeye!
I've got a quick question (or two) for ya!
I have an 07 DL 1000. I bought it to get best of both on and off road (my last bike was a KLR 650....although that never really went off road!).
I have had the DL off road a bit, and frankly, it is just way to heavy to be practical off road! And honestly, I don't see myself doing too much of that anyway (if I do, I'll probably just get an old KLR again anyway!)
Now, back to my question! I like to have the best of both (all!) worlds! Touring, comfort, 2 up when needed, fun, and a bit of power! Basically, to have a bike/s in my garage that, combined, will fill all those needs. So I am thinking maybe the DL 1000 for comfort, touring and two up, and a big muscle cruiser to the rest!
OR a nice sporty (but not a crotch rocket, don't like 'em!) bike to have fun on and probably a Road Glide or similar for touring/comfort/2 up.
Now, I noticed you went from an FZ to a DL, then BACK to the FZ....why? What made you wanna leave the FZ, and what brought you back to it?
And I have a bonus question for ya to! LOL! Why the first gen FZ1? Why not second gen?
I hope that wasn't too much ranting for ya!
Hope to hear back from you!
Cheers!
