Having such amazing roads on your doorstep I can understand the need for Speed! ....I recently took out a Kawasaki Z900RS and a Triumph Street Scrambler for extended test rides. It was a blast and like you say woke up the devil in me on the Z900RS. BUT....I was instantly doing licence busting/bone breaking speeds. Where I would be 'blasting !' along on the Tenere at 70-80 mph I was doing well over 100 mph. My love of the Ten won the day!
I'm not being a goody goody or a kill joy....if I were rich I would have many bikes!, one of them being the Supercharged H2 Kawasaki. The Fazer is a great bike. ...I think you will get maximum points from Mrs. Chalk Two.

PS. I'm a total hypocrit by the way. ...I'm quite happy with my Tenere and it's speed/handling etc, but when an R1 blasted past me the other day at warp factor speed I had goosebumps and thought that used to be me!! Cheers Steve
