I just thought I should introduce myself to everyone. I recently bought an 06 zx14 off ebay for $5500 bucks sight unseen. I read a lot about these bikes on this and other zx forums before buying, which helped me to be confident in my decision before buying. Thanks to all of you for that!
Anyway, my last bike was a DL1000 and after 3 years on it I decided I needed to get something more exciting before I got too old - so I went for the baddest bike I could find. Seriously though - I really chose the 14 for its touring capabilities as that is what I really like to do (didn't want a dedicated ST bike, wanted to build my own contraption somewhat - not to mention the price of those). The limitless power helps too. Ive started farkling this winter by adding convertibars, buell pegs, and a ZG ST windscreen. Im about to order a Russell Saddle and might build some custom aluminum saddlebags (I know - its a sportbike why would anyone put aluminum saddle bags on one). To be honest I guess function is far more important to me than looking "super cool" on my "totally rad" 14.
I guess enough about me and my bike. Glad to be a part of this forum - ive found lots of good info and ideas already.
