Going to the S for work motivates me in the morning because I get to drive!

Amen to that! I drive from Makakilo to Pearl Harbor every day. And seeing the S after a long day seems to wipe all the cobwebs from the head every afternoon. Well, to be fair, the Ducati has the same effect on me as well.
2 ben's with GPWs and a ducati.

what are the chances?

except the gpw is going through some massive top secret extreme makeover.

What Ducati's? I've always wanted a Ducati 998. I know someone at my work place has a Yellow 748...Maintenance on them are expensive. I think they require something major every 4K miles. It was while back since my crotch rocket days.....

I have a monster, S2R800 myself. And yes, they are slightly expensive to work on, and seem to like the attention of the mechanic.

daily driving the S2000 is actually a relief for me. I was daily riding my 600RR for a year; rain or shine, before i bought the S.

Relief is understatement for me. I never felt comfortable on the bike when it rained hard. Even more so when the roads were dry, then gets drenched while on your bike....spooky.

DD'ing the S was great, except when the top was up and the blindspots killed me. Only thing I didn't like was having to put just about everything in the trunk if I had a passenger. Or, picking up a large UPS box and having to crush it down, and drop the top. Sometimes pinching a gap in traffic to cross while waiting for VTEC to engage before being hit by a semi.
