Hello everyone,

Just picked up an '08 Atomic Silver ZX-14 on Thursday.
I was debating about getting rid of my CRF-250l to get something more for the freeway now that my commute went from 3 1/2 miles to 19 miles one way to work...
Went into the power sports dealer to look for a warmer set of gloves and fell in love with the used Ninja out front..
An '08 with 1258 miles on it! ... Couldn't leave the dealership without it!..I have always wanted a bigger lower strung sport bike..
I've had everything from an FZR-600 to the slingshot GSXR-1100 and now I finally have a bike where there really isn't anything to upgrade to(aside from the 14r of course)..this thing just wants to cruise ... wherever .. however... I suddenly don't want to drive the car to work anymore....
I LOVE IT!!..
Just signed up for the forum.. Anxious to start reading and learning all I can about these bikes.
Excuse the pic at work with the crap behind it...

2008 ZX-14 sold last december to consolidate debt... Miss the hell out of it...
Rest are sold....

Yes SnuffyZX.. I couldn't agree more.. The bike's lines along with the color make it look very classy and give it the exotic touch. I really lucked out!
