I had a red 95 GPZ1100 too, well b4 my ZZR. My GPZ was the smoothest running bike I've ever owned. Not one vibe ever emanated to the grips or footpegs. That was a really nice bike. Too bad I don't have any pics tho!

I had a really hard time dialing in the suspension on my Zed12. Still have to play with it when running loaded (bags & gear) vs naked. It's been a great bike though! I discovered my camshafts were pitted at 24K miles...at 55K now and no change in performance.

This is a ZZR-1200, there are many like it, but this one is mine!

I had a 2002 ZZR that I sold in 2004 to buy a FJR.  I missed the power and easy valve adjustments but I did not miss the non-adjustable and mediocre suspension.  Last June I bought a leftover 2008 ZX-14 for the exact amount that I paid for the ZZR seven years earlier.  I still miss the ZZR's easy valve adjustment but the ZX-14 is far superior to the ZZR in every comparison.  More power, smoother engine, lighter weight, better brakes, fully adjustable suspension, and the most plush ride of any motorcycle I have ever owned.  The handlebars on the ZZR were 2 inches higher than the ZX-14 but that is the only thing that I can think of that I preferred on the ZZR.

So I am standing in my garage last Friday looking at the Zed which I have been trying to sell since I bought my (new to me 05 FJR) when the nostalgia hit me... I asked myself, "why am I selling this great bike". So I have decided to keep her and the FJR. One can not have enough motorcycles. Right?

Here is the Zed:

Time to contemplate.  Winter came just in time didn't it?  I felt the same way about the Rex when riding home from a dealer after considering a used Gen6 VFR.  I'd have to give up the Rex which I really don't want to do again.
