Are we getting old?

Coming soon to a garage near you?

Oh man...that loud pipe has to go 

 and git off my lawn

[George R. Young]

Hard to believe that thing will go fast enough to keep an air-cooled engine happy. I may be getting on in years, but I've graduated from the Concours geezer bike to a sporty SV650S.

I don't consider the C14 a geezer bike...lol.  But I did go to an Indian Roadmaster which is very geezer.

[Boomer]

I'm geezer (C10) and non-geezer (flashed C14 with sports suspension).
As for the air cooled Z1000 lump, it is designed to idle and cool itself indefinitely when not moving.
Convection provides adequate cooling but it's gonna get ****ing HOT and I foresee see many many burnt shins/boots using that.
Those tyres are just going to turn to smoke if you unleash anywhere near the full power of that 90bhp motor, let alone if you push the NOS button.
I'd love to have a go on it though! <LOL>

[Big Red]

Yes

Loved mine, I was just too long legged for it for long rides.

For the SV650S, there are gozmos called riser plates. I had them on my Gen1 and the previous owner installed them on my current Gen2. Although called risers, they can be installed to lower the pegs about an inch. So my 6'3" legs fit nicely into the tank the way normal people do. Heaven.

Very nice!!  Wish I had known that before I sold mine to a really nice chap that traveled down to TN with a friend and rode it back to Canada!

They were darlin' young men and gifted me with some maple syrup and a stuffed moose dressed in RCMP garb.  I smile every time I think of them.
