I have a confession to share with devout Cycle World readers. It’s been 34 years since I last purchased a street-legal motorcycle. And that bike, a showroom fresh 1988 Suzuki GSX-R750, was briefly ridden on public roads during engine break-in prior to being prepped for use in roadrace competition. When I joined the CW staff in 1990, I soon realized the wellspring of testbikes requiring evaluation miles left little time or need for a bike of my own. Not to say I wasn’t tempted time and again.
