Replacement for GPz

[William K Denton]

Bob,

Sounds like you (taller gents) need either an ST1300 (EFI, shafty, w/ 16k 
mile valve adj. interval) or an FJR1300 (EFI, shafty, w/ 25k mile valve adj. 
interval).  Both fit all three of your criteria.  An ST2 (very comfortable 
for taller folks, too long of a reach for 5'9"ers like me) would fit 
criteria #'s 1 & 3, but you have the inevitable short interval desmo valve 
adjustment thing to deal with.

In hindsight, I can't believe I pretended to be comfortable on the GPZ for 
as long as I did. I went through the same decision making process, and for 
me, there were only three important criteria:
>
> 1. Comfortable for a tall person (I'm 6'4"/193 cm with a 35"/89 cm inseam)
> 2. Low maintenance features
> 3. Hard luggage compatible
>
> Sounds simple, but really, there are only two street-friendly bikes out 
> there that generally meet these criteria: the Buell Ulysses and the BMW 
> R1200GS.
