 This is closer to what I may actually purchase on Saturday.

At least the seating position is more upright like a dirtbike.  The
used one I'm looking at has the lower fairings added and hard
saddlebags.  I am hoping it hadles OK on dirt roads at a sedate pace.

  It will work a lot better on dirt roads if you pop 3 of the
 spark plug wires off before hitting the dirt.
 You are going to love that bike as long as you keep it
 on the pavement.

I got a call from the salesman a little earlier this evening.  He told
me that the bike may be sold, if said buyer qualifies for financing. I
said" Sell it!   I like the bike, but I'm not in love with it. There
are more than enough used bikes available these days!"
I figure it's BS move to get some kind of commitment.  Screw that!

I'd definitely look for a used one. I think it shouldn't be too hard
to find one that's barely been ridden.

I saw a 2003 R1150GS (maybe 1100, I can't keep track) with full Long
Way Round set up at Ace Motorsports. Unfortunately, even with 50k
miles on it, it would probably cost as much as that FZ1 new.
