welcome to the forum Rob. With your current stable of bikes, it looks like the SS would be a great addition. You dont really need a monster since you have a naked bike already and your classic RZ350 is going to be handle much differently than the SS. For old guys (Im one too, just not quite as crusty as you are) this seems to be the sport bike of choice. If you decide to go forward and get your first duc, I would recommend spending the extra cash for the S model. The ohlins are a terrific upgrade as is the quick shifting. IMO well worth the extra money. I had the white model and sold it to my brother. Now I own the red one. I cant decide if that was a mistake or not. I still think the white is super classy, even if the red one is faster. haha.
