ZX14MAN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS!!!! That R55 does NOT have a CAT in it for everyone who wants to know. It seems to be more like a power bulge if you can call it that. As far as the sound goes, it has got a very sexy and very DEEP sound to it, and as you go higher in the rev range it builds sound even more.
We stay 3km from the highway, and my wife says she can hear me all the way to our house.
On another topic, I replaced by recently purchased MRA screen with a ZERO GRAVITY screen, and what a difference. Yesterday I cruised at 200km/h without the wind blowing my helmet off my head. What a doddle to go to 280/290 km/h.
I love my bike even more now. To all of you out there, enjoy your zx14's!!!
