moved up today

It wasn't a high priority for me to move up, but I traded in my blue 2003 gz250 for a a 2008 V Star 650 custom today (black is my new favorite color). The new bike had low miles and is spotless. Drove home the 20 miles from the dealer and of course it's more power, but not overwhelmingly so. Noticed more vibration than I anticipated and not so sure about a shaft drive, but I had it narrowed down to this bike, the Vulcan 500 or the Suzuki s50. I was going to move up sooner or later, and there are some great deals out there with dealers looking to move inventory.

It's funny, but I"m feeling some mixed emotions (just as I've heard a couple others on this list indicate). I'm excited about the new bike, but sad to to see the gz go. It's a great bike if you accept it for what it was meant to be.
