Posted 45 mph curves around here you can usually take at between 90 and 100 mph if you nail it with a quick turn in and big lean angle but when they tighten up in a decreasing radius they can catch you out big time. You have to know the turn before doing big speed in these, there's usually little room for error.. Bean07Mate, glad your doing well, hope you're back up on 2 wheels soon.

I think you should take up heavy drinking for the next 2 or 3 months.

Here in Gainesville, FL the southbound I-75 exit 387 ramp is a decreasing radius 205-degree curve. In a car it's interesting to observe your hand on the steering wheel slowly turning more and more and more as you make your way through the curve. On a bike ... not so much.

Yea Bean, I'm going riding with one of my mates this morning on the old cruiser, it's a nice change of pace from the sportbikes, you can slow down and enjoy the scenery. Heal up quick, you may end up buying another 14R one day.

Cheers! Kruz

Kruz Iwish you were right but im sorry your not mate to be true the most bend out of my right leg should have ended all sport bike riding for me back then (2010)to be true,the week after my stack three weeks ago my mates just re-affirmed what I new deep down in the last two N half years that I stiffen up and twist bad on a day long ride! my wife has tried to tell me this for years & I wouldn,t eccept it but now I do mate thats it no more ZX1400R my body wont do it anymore!

Just as long as you ride it, like you stole it!

Just read about your latest "boo boo" Bean. Glad you're still here for us to talk to you. Heal up and if riding that Hardly Ableson clone is the only thing you can ride, it's still better than a damn car. And stay on the forum with us. You've earned a place here.

Mad

I will pop in less obviously cuz I cant ride the ZX14R anymore but still my brothers R here that cant change it just means i,ll expand my friendship out to the V Star forum as well I will still have also a FB group I got together as of last Christmas South Aussie mates Riders we were 7 nowwe have 58 of all sorts of bikes and females as well so life will be ok once I get through my latest injuries
