And if something doesn't happen shortly on the job hunt, I may have to Craigslist the bike.

I have enjoyed the ride for the most part, but the 900 could use a few things: a bit more power, a sixth gear, better suspension and definitely more cornering clearance. Oh, and the factory seat was a torture device and has been replaced with a gel-seat, but even that isn't great. It's not what I would consider an all day ride as is. I would probably opt for a sport tourer in the event I got into the money again.
