they do kinda...

my 1125 is comfy, not quite as upright as your Z but not bad. and most definatly NOT detuned.

and there's always the B-king...

funny thing,

this morning took a ride and ended up at the local Sun. morn. car/bike show and thought of this thread.
saw these two older guys (probly in their late 60's early 70's) walking around wearing moreso sportbike specific gear. and to my surprise, what bikes did they hop on to leave?...........
one got on a 'busa and the other on a zx14, both bikes with tons of mods at that.

Bottom line if your S/O thinks your riding under your age, trade her in on something younger!!!!!

You should let your riding ability determine if you should have a sportbike, not your age.
