Replying to Motorbicycles Thread

A little bit of stoke. Things are looking up in life, graduated, got a good job. Finally, in a month or two I'm gonna fulfill my dream of buying a bike a nice, new, bike. I've already talked to the dealership, still waiting on taking my basic riders course though (ridden motorcycles throughout my life, but it makes insurance cheaper).

I'm pretty deadset on an FZ-07 (mt-07 if no fz's are for sale). Any other potential sub 8k bike suggestions? Anyone else here ride? What's the coolest ride you have done or what is your favorite/dream bike?

Discuss below, consider this a refresh to the motorcycle thread.
