Hello,

I fell in love with the looks of the XT1200Z when I first saw her announced in a magazine early last year.

My wife said in March last year..."You stop smoking for a year - and you can get a new bike".

Since then - have been reading every possible forum entry about the ST.

Put down a deposit last weekend - and will take possession of my "1st Edition" in Viper blue from a dealer - Ride On Motorcycles in Glasgow - on March 4th...cannot wait
Am tempted to have a celebration cigarette before I mount her for the first time...

Anyway - thanks to everyone for a forum like this - and will keep you posted on how I get on...

Hey Siddhartha! Congrats on kicking the smoking habit and on the new bike. That new S10 ought to give you enough of a high to leave the smokes behind for good. Sounds like you got the color right, too. ;D

Have some Balvenie 21yr single malt instead for the celebration. Great stuff!
