That's good, but square it up. And still at least an oversized 2 stall...

I was talking the roof, I dislike rounded roof, seems like you end up losing too much wall space.

Not really, because anything that curves over top is higher than you can realistically reach, unless you plan on storing stuff up high. Really teh wasted space is anything above 10 feet.

The thing I like about them is that they are fairly sturdy, simply designed, useful, and decently priced.

acalliste, if it makes you feel any better, I'm in the same boat, I really want to move to more of a standard or even sport touring bike, but would like to have my cake (keep my bike) and eat it too (get another along the lines of a z1000, busa, fjr1300, concourse, zx14 etc....

But as you mentioned I have two girls in college right now, so I'm trying to resist temptation, mine are paid for.

higher than YOU could reach LOL...


naw seriously... you could easliy build a loft for storage around "bays" for vehicles.

shit you could build a ramp and have a raised platform if you didn't have a lift. making it simple for services.

z1000s and what size garage might be appropriate for a motrycle of that calibur to be housed in. Basically the bike is soooooooo cool that it would need a double wide garage, but depending on the person the z1000 might need to share space with a work area of some kind and if they are pussywhiped and their wife/girlfriend/signifigant other encroaches on their man space 3 car garage.

Also the link you posted has a contest, of which I was the only other person to enter.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Awesome summary
