"all jacked an crazy'...shit man...I don't think so...I think you have the ride experience to actually teach some of us here...honestly...I love hearin yer stuff about how you did such and such.I really am dumb when it comes to what this bike is capable of...at least I think so.I don't ride in TC1...haven't for a while now...so intervention is not occurring in my rides...I'd probably kill myself if I had er on TC1...push too hard...IDK.You think?I push pretty hard right now...haven't had any tire slips yet that I could feel.Maybe not 'hard enough"?Seems pretty damn fast to me...yup...twice at least the posted limit...three at times.I think I'm asking for another trip to the hospital;)Shit....If I end up dead...well...that's the risk and joy you take.What could be better really...going out from this...or wasting away in a rest home somewhere...god...I hope not.You of course have more to lose....however...I'm with ya bud as you ride....crazy...fast...hard...pushing...I get it.I never thought I'd be saying this...but...I'll probably die out riding somewhere...hittin a curve...you know.Almost happened last time...God id Good...let me have another break at the big bird....things are awesome aren't they?

Do you think I'm afraid of something Dogo? Hahahaha! You saw I ain't. I have been around track riders since I was a baby. This bike was made for the real world. no start finish line. That lean given back by body position is supposed to be taken up by speed no??? Justifying a chicken strip as smart riding, is actually slow corner speed. Never did I say the 14R was made for tight tight technical stuff. The majority of that Neah bay ride was corners marked 15-25 mph. 15-25. :))) Ahhhh, but when things opened up and I could let her eat in her element, i didn't hesitate nor back off at max velocity. When things opened up before that t section I hit flat out several times. If that dude OR ANY DUDE DIDN'T SHOW UP WITH POWER AND BALLS I WOULD LEAVE EM IN A 186mph limited wake. I took a piss and drank some water at that t section.

Yup...I wasn't there...but I can vouch for the "took a piss and waited"....
No way is a 14R gonna outrun a 10R in tight stuff...too much mass.Just as simple as that.Nothing to feel bad about at all....keeping up with one and a good rider...that's admirable...very.And balsy...tell ya that.;)

I want to clarify! I AM ALL ADRENALINE DUMPY. I am probably readin all wrong. But again. Around a track there are many many way faster riders than me. I HAVE BEEN THERE DONE THAT GOT THE T SHIRT. I wasnt pushing 100% in that tight stuff, I have two kids to come home too. I was comfortable slidin the rear a little and gettin a nice off corner wheelie here and there. But I pushed about 80-88 percent. For me, my rush has always come from the ROAD THING. I am old. I am old school. I remember ROAD RACING AT ITS FINEST. I think THIS BIKE! The 2012-13 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R is the finest point A TO B ROAD WEAPON EVER CRAFTED. A HYPERBIKE. I am trying in my riding and my focus to be good at what the bike is good at. CAUSE I JUST LOVE THAT! No offense to anyone that loves little bikes. But this IS A ZX 14forum under the 14R heading correct? Cause that's what I am talking about.

I just wanted to mention that the Angel GT is a long life tread, sport touring tire. The Dunlop Q3 is the highest performing street tire on the market for street/track duties. In other words you would get half (or less) mileage out of a Q3 than an Angel GT. But the stick is as close as you can get to a race tire for the street. Sport Rider magazine just said it raised the bar above all other tires for the street. It is the king right now as the Q2 was the king for the last 4 years. Two totally different tires. The Angel GT competitor is the Dunlop Roadsmart II high mileage sport touring tire. Good Luck on whatever you buy!

Nah C... I know you ain't afraid.

Exactly.

Yup... but it's in there somewhere.

Correct again... however, for a second there it sure felt an awful lot like hyabooooooooooozzzzzzzza.org

And I think the Michelin Pilot Power III sits between the two with a slight emphasis on grip at lean. Which was my point. An awesome choice if ya can't decide between those two.

Ahh, well, I hope that's a joke.
Oh, ur talkin about the piss and drink of water comment. You are right, I did get that water out of your tank bag. I totally remember that. I did however go down in that ditch and take a piss, you saw me comin up out of it messin with my phone i think. I wasn't trying to misrepresent anything. It straight took you awhile to catch up. If that to you is full of shit, then thank ya for the water I guess.
