Thirty years ago, my wife said the same thing, but I got the GS1000 anyway. Eighty horsepower and the first bike with adjustable damping on the rear shocks. Wow. It was $3,000 in 1979, and I got a 10 percent discount for paying cash. My friends told me to wait for the GS1100, but the 1000 on the showroom floor was my favorite color black, and I was making big bucks so I bought it. I still smile every time I get on the bike.

It's a little different when your wife says you shouldn't get it (especially if you want it anyway) and you making a choice yourself that it's not something you want or need.

probably gonna catch hell but...

I like the liter power for commuting. if I want to go somewhere I just roll it on and go, not downshift and go. a liter bike don't have to have the revs up as much to go either. not as buzzy as a 600.

I'd rather a twin for commuting. A SV650 would be my choice for a nice commuter.
