I've always really liked the looks of the Vmax and would love to take a test drive. Anybody have any experience with those?

I recently upgraded to a Honda Blackbird. I liked the GPZ and all, but really,
there is no comparison. The Blackbird is an amazing bike. The best this is how
much less it weighs; and all the weight is down low. I still have the GPZ in my
garage, but I'm selling it. Two things I'll miss: the factory saddlebags
and the good gas mileage.

I've still got mine.  I finally got around to putting some SS brake lines
on it.  Man, what a difference!  I should'a done that a long time ago.  

The clock on mine is just coming up on 20K miles so it's just broken in.  I
know that's gotta be way on the low side of average, so I'm just
wondering, how many miles do you guys have on your bikes?

The GPz is still the only bike in the garage but I'm looking for a dual
sport to park next to it.  I'd like to get something that's more dirt
than street oriented, something like a Honda XR 650L or Suzuki DR 650.  I
don't know which one I prefer so it'll probably just be the first one
that I find that I can steal.
