    GSXR 1000 street/600 trackbike. I've spent countless hours riding my "indiana loop" from New Albany to Bloomington and back. There are some good roads to be had on the south end.

    I have a 04 zx10r. I started riding dirt bikes when I was 5, started racing enduro when I was 7. Found the fun in sportbikes by age 15 been on the street ever since then. I have owned kawasakis except for one 98 srad 750.

    Ok, but looks like I need a sight to host the image first. It doesn't look like this forum accepts attachments.

    I know that the sport bikes we had in the 70's, the Z1 Kawasaki are pretty pale by todays standard, that was the beginning of the factory sportbikes for the masses. I loved the xj1200 and it felt so smooth and refined (at least compaired to the truck like handling of the big Kawasaki). I fell in love with the twincam Ninja engine in the late 80's. My last three bikes (four counting the new one I totalled) have been the ZG1000 Kawasaki Concours models. Sport tour. I know that they will not stay with a properly ridden 600RR, but they are not slow either. I made a sub 14 minute pass on the dragons tail, on highway tires. Then I rode the bike to Indiana that same day. All but one of my Iron Butt rides were on the ZG's. I am old, not superbike class, but not that slow yet.

    I made my wife promise to shoot me if I ever started riding a Goldwing with chrome tilting drink holders and stuffed toy animal tied to it.

    My dad has a ZG1000 concours. I have ridden it through the dragon a few times. We met at the dragon when I lived in Florida and he brought his concours and KLR650. Let me say the old KLR was a lot of fun for a dual sport bike. My dad and I were passing sportbikes on two bikes that should have never passed a sportbike.
