Default Lust for the new bikes

I bought a practically brand new bike 2 weeks ago, my first bike. It's a 2003 GZ 250, and it had about 480 miles on it when I got it. Since I've never rode before (except as passenger) it's plenty bike for me. And seeing as how I'm moving to Guanajuato, Mexico, with its many narrow streets impassable by cager traffic, it should be perfect for a good long while.

Still, I can't help but lust after the new bikes, especially the C50. My pants feel uncomfortably tight after visiting the Suzuki website. It's not about speed, I'm not a speed demon, and the GZ suits me fine. It's purely based on looks. Yes, I'm superficial like that.

Are there any 12 step groups for people like me? I am definitely powerless over the new bikes, and my bank account is threatening to become unmanageable.

Yes, there is a cure. When I get the bug to trade in my VS800 (now the S50) I go the the local dealer, check out the sticker price on a 1400, LC, or Rune, and add about $750 for taxes, assembly, and fees.
I then look at my bank ballance , and rapidly decide that my 800 is still the perfect bike for me and is good for at least another 20,000 miles...
