Honestly, I know I still would. I'm probably an anomaly amongst those in my age group, but I think it's amazing looking.

For me, no problem, looks great. CB1100 is a new bike looking old, FZ10, a new bike that looks new. Style is what it is. The FZ10 weighs about 475 wet, perfect, with about 150 HP. Perfect.
The bearded-hipster-looking sales guy at the dealer (who I've never seen before there, but overall was a very pleasant guy) tried to convince me that the bike "has around 180hp - it's straight out of the R1".
Always amazes me when you know more than salespeople at a dealership...orrrr, now that I think about it....should I be upset that he thought a knowledgeable (we talked at length about bikes) 59 year old would be that gullible?!
