In the spring of 2001, I made the mistake of going into a Yamaha dealer that had a new FZS1000 on the floor. I further compounded the mistake by bringing my wife along to show it to her. We rode away on it that afternoon! It is black and we've named it "Goliath." I had almost forgotten how much fun a liter-bike was to ride.
Our previous motorcycle was our first new motorcycle, a 1996 Honda VFR750F. Prior to that, we had a 1992 Suzuki Katana 1100. Our learning bike was a 1982 Honda Nighthawk 650SC.
This was our 1992 Suzuki Katana 1100. Now that's some fun! We've named her
"Lovely Angel". We sold her in July 1998 and she met a terrible end
at the hands of a motorcycle thief a few weeks later.
