To Z, or not to Z?

So, I've been thinking, since my excellent, all-flowing-right ride this last Sunday (ride report pending), that I'm not so all-fired convinced that I need to get rid of the Z750s.

Since then, I've been pretty actively enjoying the bike. It hasn't annoyed me once.

Of course, it got 44 MPG on that trip. I was working on my riding technique, and it was working really well. The bike was flawless, as it's always been. But more importantly, I realized that I was fitting on it well, and it suited what I was doing really well.

The problem is, it's still going to get in the low 30s for around-town MPG. It's still top-heavy. It's still overpowered for most of the riding I do.

I don't know what exactly I want to do at this point. I suspect my decision will depend at least in part on how hard it proves to be to sell either or both of the motorcycles.
