..And I can't stand parallel twins. Or at least I prefer almost every other kind of engine there is. I also test rode the Super10, which is a twin. The engine sounded horrible. Yeah, it can tractor and everything. But there was very little I really liked about the engine. It was utterly forgettable. Except that it put my hand to sleep on a 20 minute ride through town. (Demo loop.)
I fear the FZ-07 is the same. Although I really wish I had ridden it. Phil and I were talking afterwards and later at bike night. He said he liked the -07 a lot more. His comments made me think I'd picked the wrong FZ to demo.
I also need to test ride the new DL1000. I bet it's the goldilocks of these things for me; V-twin smoothieness plus liter bike powah. Only problems are the crap (ier) fuel range and big bux price tags.
