However, the CB is a good bit faster than the Bonnie. The ZRX is a different ride than the FZ1. While the FZ1 makes it's HP high in the revs like it's alter ego R1. The ZRX feels torquier at lower rpm's and if I remember correctly it doesn't rev as high. The FZ1 is a modern Naked bike and the ZRX is a retro muscle bike in my opinion. The CB can easily be converted into a light tourer. Look at Jamboa's CB in the modification threads. Actually four of the bikes you mentioned can tour in comfort. With the V-Max not being one of them. If the power is a key factor in your decision and you can only own one bike (like me). I'm not sure if you will be satisfied with the CB.
I'd go with the ZRX.
Your description of the difference between the FZ1 and the ZRX is exactly what I've been reading and what has me curious. I just don't know if it will give me the laid back feel I get from the Bonnie; though I could be wrong. Decisions ... Decisions!
