This is def. a tough decision. My situation is similiar to yours in a way. I currently have an 07 Honda 600rr ( had an 02 Honda F4i) There is nothing that is comparable to driving a motorcycle. Having almost supercar acceleration, the thrill of leaning into the turns and almost becoming one with the road, I know it sounds cheesy, but it feels so true. It truely is a great stress reliever.
Like alot of members have mentioned, and I totally agree, you are either going to love it or hate it and to be honest alot of people on bikes shouldn't be riding them. If you are scared, then get off. There is no reason to put yourself or anyone else in danger.
Going back on topic though. I had an S2000, I loved that car. I traded it in on an Honda Ridgeline. Right now I have mixed emotions. The bike is def. great in the summer time, and the truck serves it purpose, but I def miss the passion of driving a sports car too. The feeling of getting into a vehicle that you truely love that puts a smile on your face.
The question I keep asking myself is. Do I really want to sacrafice the utility of a truck when I already have a speed demon for the summer time? Or to have that immense feeling of getting into a 370z ( test drove one) plus having the sport bike?
One side of me keeps saying, "keep the truck, you have the bike for summer time." While part of me never forgets the thrill/handling of the s2000 (well....a sports car in general) and the smile one gets on their face when they are driving a vechicle they truely love.
Like I said, very tough decision, but more than likely I will be selling the ridgline for the 370z and keeping my bike also. Call me spoiled, but I guess I love speed
