[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1411875, member: 20946"] Congrats on this new purchase. Your story brings back memories. It was the fall of 1978. I was itching for a new bike and it was time to step up from my 500cc 2 stroke. There were three bikes in my sights: the Yamaha XS1100, the Suzuki GS1000, and the Honda CBX1000. I read everything I could get my hands on, then went to the dealership, sat on them, talked to the salespeople, and thought about it some more. I don't remember all the details, I'm thinking that maybe one of them wasn't available and I'd have to wait a month or two... but it's been a very long time and the old memory is foggy. If I'm not mistaken, the Suzuki was the cheapest of the three, and that's what made the decision for me. However, I wish I'd known then what I know now. I'd have paid a couple hundred more and gotten the Honda. Turns out the big Zook was a great bike and I certainly don't regret buying it. But little did I know that the Honda was destined to be a collector's dream come true. [/QUOTE]
