A few years ago, I was torn between a BMW S1000rr and the new, at the time ZX14R. I contemplated the two for months, and only after test riding the S1K ( I was unable to test the ZX14R in CO ), I promptly bought it. For two years I hardly rode the S1K - even though it is comfortable in regards to liter bikes, after about an hour, I didn't want to ride it anymore. I only accumulated 2400 miles in 2 years owning it ( still own it ).

I recently won an eBay auction for a 2013 ZX14R ABS in green. Green wasn't my first choice (2012 Blue was), but it has most certainly grown on me. I went down to AZ and picked up the bike. Only rode it around the neighborhood ( should've spend a day or three there as the weather was 60* and perfect) before loading it up and heading back.

Bike felt AWESOME! I can't wait to do some serious riding on it!

Ordered a Cortech Super 2.0 18L tank bag, some Sidi On Road boots, and am considering the SW-Motech Bags Connection tail bag. Mainly because I like the way it looks on the bike, as well as it seems to be a quality bit.

Also need to wire up my Garmin Montana GPS. Got some work to do!

Well, without further ado...

Welcome, luv that new bike smell.

Nice. Have fun with it!

Mad

Sweet ride! I love busas and 14s. I own both in the 2008 models. You won't think twice about that 2012 busa if you meet one on the street. He'll eat your dust!

Beautiful bike and welcome to the hot spot your gonna love it here! Now go get a CBlast flash and a Muzzy and your all set!!!

Nice bike guns
too bad black is faster than green
I like

Black is the fastest color!

Thanks for the warm welcome(s) guys!

I would love to lose some weight and grab some more hp/tq but I love the quietness of the stock exhaust.

I like the looks of the Graves slip ons, but just am not sure I'll like the additional noise. I guess I'm getting old. lol

that green looks good!

Welcome, let the mods begin!

Thanks omega2k -

Actually, the green is really growing on me. In the sun, the metallic flake in the paint just pops.

Good to hear you like the sw-motech tail bag. It seems like a well built quality bag, just not many adopters here in the US. I'll probably go ahead an order one.
