[QUOTE="Eagle Six, post: 1376509, member: 90552"] endivita, great post, I like it....... I've never owned a Blackbird (rode a few) and I think they are great bikes, maybe I will have one someday. [B]"smaller you are[/B]", I think I fit this category, 5'8", 150 with full gear just after a rain. "[B]fitter you are"[/B], not sure I fit this category very well anymore (see below), but sure trying! I am beyond 600 and liter bikes except maybe for the track, but I think my track days are behind me (see below), and there are no tracks within reasonable range to my loaction. [B]"younger you are"[/B], I'm pretty sure I am beyond this category, at age 71. "[B]ZX-14 can be usefully deployed as a ST bike"[/B], This is my category. I don't do that much touring anymore, but when I do, it's still the ZX14, it's fits me and my style and the wife likes it (see below), smooth, quick, and comfy for us. The FJR is a great bike, much better than the previously owned Honda ST1300A. If I had more storage space I would probably keep the FJR. "[B]Good luck on that"[/B], I definitely fall into this category. The wife's style of riding co-pilot is similar to mine, she prefers the ZX14 over the FJR, which she calls the 'Grandpa' bike, she often cracks me up! Says the FJR doesn't have enough sport and too much cruiser. She loves the human backpack position of the ZX14, with none of the buffeting of the FJR. Yep, I feel lucky! "[B]firearms enthusiast", [/B]I'm sure I also fit this category! [/QUOTE]
