Sell the Kawasaki.....

No mate, get a bigger garage.

A conundrum. 

Personally, I have to be 'in the mood' to ride any particular motorcycle, and I just can't see myself in the mood to ride that Kawi. 
But then I still have a very soft spot for Iron Sportsters, too.

I can think of a few bikes I'd like as a second bike, but it'll never happen, so just me and the green one and I'm ok with that....

Ps I watched a review of a V35 Imola the other day and Father and son both loved it. You might be onto something Mick!

Quite apart from the fact that I find the Imola very pretty, and the riding position is pretty much perfect for me:

I rode a Suzuki GSX 250 E, similar to this but silver and red, during my L and P plate times (for non-Australians: Learner and Probationary. At the time, a 250 was the largest capacity bike those licence categories was allowed to ride)

A good little bike, but as an up-and-coming motorcycle legend, one always wishes for more. The Imola has quite similar power and weight figures to the GSX 250, but is just better. The motor has more character, the handling is tighter, and so on. It is, more or less, the bike I was wishing the GSX were.

After I got off my P plates, I bought a Z 900.

 

These days, as an established and experienced motorcycle legend who has been there, done that, got the t-shirt, and has nothing more to prove, the Imola is just really good fun.
