What's your daily driver and how does it compare to your Z?

Thanks for posting that I hadn't seen it, That is one sweet bike, it's about time Honda

My Ohlins shock is OK I'm not sure of the forks are salvageable.

I was thinking about maybe getting away from sport bikes but, that's making me reconsider.

It's funny how many people have been telling me they can't believe that I would think about riding the motorcycle again. I just tell them I can't imagine going through life without one. Only fellow riders understand that

You're welcome.
Instead of a sport bike. Sport tourer. There are some nice ones out there now. I embarrassed a few crotch rocket squids on my VFR in my time. My Mich Pilot Powers are worn to the edge. No chicken strips.

Rider > bike every time. It's true for cars too but it's exponentially more evident on 2 wheels. People always buy bikes because of what a professional racer on a closed course can make it do, not because of how it performs for them, at their skill level, in the real world. If I had it to do over again I'd have a 1098 Streetfighter instead of my 848... maybe less capable on a track, but tons more fun/comfortable for what I actually use it for.

I look at their rear tires. Most are worn squared off, with the numbs sill on the edges. Chicken strips about 1.5" wide.

Well to be fair, if you're grinding your tires down to the edges on public roads, chances are you won't be with us for very long.

2" chicken strips are a different matter though.

Oh... I've back off some. 60yrs old with too much Ti in my body already.
