My first love was the Z1 when I was 16. Why? Because the big inline 4 projected and produced massive power for its day and it looked GREAT! But I never realized ownership of one. Practicality ruled supreme so I bought a new '76 CL360 in High School while most of my buddies drove I4's. For 40 years I waited. I actually felt the motorcycle industry had forgotten me and was trying to cram a ugly motored, V-twin or plastic covered bike down my throat! I knew what I wanted but it took until 2014 at the age of 56 to get it. That's probably why mines black.
