My KZ-550Ltd was not a sport bike, but that motor was. Coming from a CJ360 it was a revelation. In fact it was the bike that "made" me quick bikes for 25 years. Today, my Griso is my hooligan bike (and touring bike). It's not truly a sport bike (too heavy) but for me it is; really it's more of a sporty bike. But I have no need for 100hp and 80 is plenty in the real world for me. I tend to gravitate to the larger machines simply because of ergonomics, not the need for HP. As the back ages, I look more to four wheels for touring and long drives more than bikes. Plus I just don't enjoy long drives. Just got back from 3500 with the family in the pickup so any desire for another trip in the near future is nil. The summer heat in the southwest does not help matters at all. What were we talking about?
