This is because I sold my Matrix on Monday thinking I could ride my motorcycle to work for my final 8 days of work. Now I have bus tickets.

I did that once,   my GPZ900R was my only transportation for a few months until I found my 911.   A few times I had to dust snow off the bike on the way to/from work, but no -30C stuff.  :P

that's a good looking bike...a great choice to start your riding with.

Hopefully this weekend I can get it out of the garage and onto the driveway into some actual sun.


Thank you all for your help with this.

yea, it's a pretty solid package, especially to learn on...as it comes so nicely equipped, and it's smaller engine size allows lower insurance rates, it could be a keep too.
