7-year itch? Folks looking past their beauty-queen wife because some new girl in town just walked past?
Just me, maybe, but I personally don't see the new girl holding a candle.
Definitely not in looks, not in the radiator where an oil-cooler belongs, not in the "iPhone" where a speedo and tach belong, not in throttle‑by‑wire, not in a solid-state nanny riding the bike for me instead of me riding the bike myself (maybe at least halfway kidding about that last part, maybe).
Nope.
(But then my other love is an XR650L, so go figure--at least I'm consistent in wanting my motorcycles as elemental as possible.)
Me? Myself? If I was to collect another bike, give me a well-maintained K0 (no solid state nothing on that girl--woohoo points & condenser!), or an 1100 RS or EX,.
Rant over, apologies to all.
