Replacement for GPZ and Trip in California?

[Robert Bessara (bessara.com)]

OK...

So next time some year, I'll be doing a vacation tour of California (heck, I might even visit Peter in Utah).

I was thinking of fixing my dormant GPZ (bad carbs, new chain/etc) and shipping it over.
Shipping will be about $600-700... And I'm not sure how much $$$ to get it road worthy.

Another option is to just bite the bullet and get another bike when I was there...
Looking at Craigslist I saw a Bandit 1250s/ABS.

It's a few months away... But I'm open to suggestions..

And yes... I'm an idiot for letting my bike sit and decay.. :(
