In a nutshell, I'm bored of my FZ-07. It's *extremely* fun around town and being an outright hooligan, but the second you hit the twisties the suspension falls flat on its face.
I looked into getting upgraded suspension and after working it all out (rear + front + installation) it'd work out to be about a $2.5k investment into the bike. IMO, that money could instead be put towards another bike.
I'm considering keeping the FZ for 2-upping / adventure-bike / putt-putt around town, and then have a super-sport for the twisties.
I did however look at getting a good in-between bike that doesn't have crap suspension, but it's either the 2018 CB1000R or an MT-09 (hopefully the SP version comes to NA). But for the price of a brand-new bike I could keep the FZ-07, have a ZX-6R *and* a Grom with money still leftover for insurance.
Has anyone else gone the same route? Two bikes for the road?
