Well Bob, you obviously know your stuff when it comes to motorcycles. Since you actively dislike the KLR we shouldn't use that for your bike reading. You have obvious yearnings for the '78 GL1000 Goldwing which indicates a passion for the golden era of Japanese motorcycles and a pragmatic, no nonsense personality. You like living the good life which you see as doing what you want, when you want, not someone elses image of success. But since you have not actually acquired and bonded to this mythical GL1000 I don't think we should place too much emphasis on a reading based on this machine. The bikes you collect can tell something about a person but not as much as the ones you ride. My specialty in in street and track machines but I can glean some useful info from dirt machines as well. The XL250 was a ground-breaking machine when it was released and quickly developed a loyal following. The fact that you are still riding one indicates a streak of stubborness, pride, extreme loyalty and resistance to change. A quieter, faster, more nimble, more comfortable and more reliable machine could be picked up on the used market for pocket change, not that the XL is unreliable or that one needs more speed but the handling improvements alone would make the upgrade worthwhile. However, you will not do this because you are a stubborn man, and resistant to change, LOL! I must assume you liked your Kawasaki H2's or you would not have had multiple examples. From this I can conclude that you had a wild hair up your ass (at least during that phase of your life) and a strong sense of mischievousness. The CBX was probably purchased after you were either dumped by a beautiful woman or in a relationship where you felt you were starting to lose control. It that old torque thing. I'm not getting a very strong feeling off the Suzuki's, perhaps the ownership of these bikes was due more to availability and price than on more telling yearnings. I'm sorry my readings are not tailored to be more flattering but I just call it how I see it. You will have to leave the flattering readings to those who depend upon reading to make a living. Bux
