edit: I see you're in the $2k range. Look for old F3's, or if you want the upright riding position a Hawk GT. Both far better bikes. There are also the 1990's Kawasaki Ninja / ZX6/ZX7's that just don't command lots of money anymore but are still great rides. There were some more 'touring' models made that are especially affordable since they don't look like a crotch rocket and thus high school kids don't want them, but they have the same or slightly detuned engines in them and thus great smooth power.

An excellent thought. I'll keep my eyes open for a Hawk GT. I do like the upright "standard" riding position, and am not opposed to something newer. As to the touring models you talked about, I just don't like the look of them. I suppose it won't matter too much if it isn't something I am going to keep long term.
As to the comments about it's looks.... What can I say, I didn't care for it much at first. When I saw it in person it started to grow on me. I absolutely understand the joke about the Mont Carlo SS of motorcycles.
