Well that's a pretty cool story with a happy ending. Im Sure frustrating but sounds like you've had a good opportunity to learn a bit. Likes /dislikes that sort of thing. Glad you kept riding nonetheless. I also find your story interesting because I find myself flirting with other bikes but honestly realizing I have a true winner. I'm happy and satisfied with my FZ10. Yet entertain the thought of trading ... I really dont think there's a better bike for my specific needs.
