Re: Lightweight yet more powerful bike?

Personally my preferred bike would be 4 cylinder, shaft driven, fuel injected, with an old universal japanese motorcycle seating set up, probably in the 650-750 range.
Why?
4 cylinder - I have an old wrist injury that is very vibration sensitive, so more cylinder keeps the hand from going numb as quickly.
Shaft - having owned both chain and shaft, I like the feel of a shaft, lower maintenance, less noise.
Fuel injected - less fussy with outdoor conditions.
UJM set up - What can I say, its what I prefer.
650-750 - I want a nice utility bike. One that will easily run errands around town, commute, and go for an all day ride in the county.

So why do I have a GZ? Hey a free bike that runs errands about town for a couple bucks a week is hard to beat, especially when the alternative is the bus.

Now if Honda starts importing the CB1100 or the Hornet to north america.....
