Hi all, new to the forum. Ridden all my life (soon to be 58), had some cool hotrod bikes over the years, starting with an H-1 with an H1-R motor/whale-bellies from Dallas Kaw's laydown framed dragbike back in the 70's, through 1st gen Suzuki GS 750 and 1000 w/cams and big bore kits, to a ZX11 bought new in '91, then replaced with the ZZR.
Not long after buying the ZZR, had a bout w/cancer, so it sat for several years. Revived it last year and added D&D's and had it jetted, and now....it's not enough! (The thing looks like it just came out of the crate, less than 2,000 mi on the clock. I have a couple other bikes too.)
So, I'm shopping ZX-14's. A rural dealer 65 miles from Dallas has several new, from 2008 and up. Has a red 2010 I've got my eye on. $9,999 sound like a good price?
Been reading up here; I'll need a couple mods right off the bat, mostly comfort related for my 6'2", 245 lb frame., IE: stacked Heli/Genmars, lowered pegs, prolly a Connie seat, cut down in the rear to retain the cowl. (I'm not a knee-dragger)
But wondering, how much RWHP is a good pipe and a tune worth? The secondary 'flies are not a concern on the 2010 as they were with earlier models, correct?
Nice to meet everyone; looking forward to the arm-socket ripping power of one of these monsters! John
