Hi all,
Just joined the forum as a lurker, for now, as I am planning on a second bike and the ZX14 or ZX14r as well as Concours14 are high on my list for candidates. I currently own a '13 Honda Fury but am no stranger to sport bikes as I had a ZX11 back in 95 and a ZX6 and F3 shortly afterwards and then a Magna750 and MeanStreak for for cruising prior to the Fury. I have also ridden the original Hayabusa, Z1000 (a few years back) as well as a 2008 i believe ZX14 for a test ride.. I want something that compliments the Fury but provide me that insane acceleration that I have missed out on for several years now. From what i have read the ZX14 is just as comfortable ergo-wise to the original ZX11 and i recall that being very nice (although i was 20 yrs younger)..
I wanted to ask you guys, if my primary goal is to have something with awesome acceleration, good looks, good handling, capability for 2-up on occasion, would the ZX14 fit the bill or should i lean more towards the Connie?
ALso.. if i go with either, should i seek 2013+ to get that extra displacement or not worry about that too much and just look for clean and unmolested? Anything else that i should look out for?
Oh.. and what spawned my plans for the second bike is that i will be moving from DC area towards Charlottesville VA into a house with a 3-car garage and will have the Blue Ridge mountains at my doorstep..
thanks for any input[img]
