Just wanted to chime in on this particular item of your post, Erik.  
Since I am still having serious surging problems with my RS,for which 
my dealer and Triumph are unable to find a cure and I'm therefore 
basically stuck with it (no offers of a replacement, ala Steve Bergman 
and Patti, I'm seriously considering dumping it.  One of the potential 
replacements I'm considering is the ZZR1200.  One question that needed 
to be answered first, of course, is insurance cost.   I spoke with my 
insurance agent and, while she could not give me an official quote 
without a VIN, her research indicated it would not cost much more per 
year than my RS; her guess was about $50.  So, Allstate at least, does 
not appear to think of it as a sport bike.  Time will, tell, of course, 
since it won't be available for some months yet.
