Thanks for all of your help....

For good or bad, I walked in to the shop to buy a GSX and rode out on a BMW 1100R.... Why you ask? Well, it all boiled down to what kind of riding I wanted to do. The BMW is a lot more comfortable in the long run at the sacrifice of a little speed. I can't see myself doing wheelies at 100 MPH, but I can see myself riding up the California coast this summer.

All in all, I think I've made the right decision for myself, but who knows, I may end up with a superfast Japanese bike as a second addition.

Thanks again...

Sounds like you made a wise decision. You assessed your needs and bought the bike best suited to them.

Since you don't have a lot of experience, I'd highly recommend the MSF course. You can get information on it by calling 1-800-CCRIDER.
