It certainly is. No wonder he wants to ride all the time.

That's exactly where I'm headed. Eight bikes are just too dang many to be able to really ride, maintain, and store.
I'm planning to exchange two of the current bikes for single bike this year, and it'll be either a CB1100EX or RS, if that one's available. Might even cut it back by three machines, leaving six. I keep a couple of bikes around to share with my riding buddy, otherwise I'd get it down to four.
Think I've pretty much made my mind up about that CB1100EX; I know how to manage the weight and how I'll be riding the bike.
The centerstand'll get taken off immediately as I ain't gonna go in for another hernia surgery if I can help it. Toss the tires for Metzeler Z8's straightaway, and order a set of Type II bars from Samurider.
I think it'll lack for nothing at that point. ABS version for sure this time (my Standard was non-ABS).
Then you just watch my smoke, I'll be out there keeping a spreadsheet too.
