...a new motorcycle?

I took a look at a few over the past couple of weeks, and one really
caught my eye...

I'm not interested in long-distance touring or off-roading. Kawasaki
makes a 649-cc twin that fits me nicely, and has plenty of torque in the
mid-range. I got up to 75 mph and the bike seemed to have plenty more,
but *I* didn't. Kawasaki Versys.

Any opinions on Kawasaki motorcycles?
Four months ago I bought a Honda Trail 90, 1977 model like the one I
used to ride as a cop. Don't laugh, 90cc was enough to patrol the
back trails and gullys at UC Santa Cruz which is located up in the
hills behind SC.
I ride it daily to/from work. Cost me $4.11 for the last days of July
thru August and into September.
Gets a little over 100mpg and my work site is 1.4 miles from my house.
I love my little CT90.
Oh, and I usually get her ripping up to a furious 35mph! Where are
you that you can go 75mph? I've been riding MC's for about 40 yrs,
all on small MC's. I'll stick to slow and easy. And safe!

Eddie,

Just so you know, you are replying to a narcissistic liar.
