Oh man dont burst my bubble,,haha,,you make good points and i have gone around with them for awhile,,first let me correct my wording,,when i said day trips i meant days ,,last year we did a 2k trip over 6 days ,,and it really wasnt that bad and the fz07 really shined in some places but not so much in many others. so its time for an upgrade . im not a rich man and saving that 6k is SOOO tempting but hey we only live once ,,i dont see me getting rid of this bike for awhile and i really do like that dash ,,plus the upgrade suspension. as much as i loved the fz07 I think it will be a distant memory after a few miles on the Tracer,,at least i hope so.
