Default Re: Opposite directions

Good write-up. Useful (not that I'm anywhere near to buying a new bike.)

This was ultimately the reason why I sold my VFR800 and happily took over my son's curvy.

Do they really need one when they have the SV as a lightweight mid-capacity model? Alternatively, following the Kawasaki and Yamaha lead, should they create a retro-styled GS perhaps? (I'm not sure the Katana has quite hit the mark for them but maybe a smaller engined variant might help.)

I'm (procrastinating about) fixing up an old Yamaha FZ600 to get myself fully back on the road.
