Jaded? Not now!
01/26/17 2:25 AM

Iwas becoming jaded with life,with an R1200S and a '15 Ninja 1000 until I saw a good used '07 ZX14.Not knocking those two lovely bikes but was not getting much of a thrill with them.Over the past several years have had a new '12 Concours ,covered trouble free 65ks and a K1200GT but due to a health problem both became too heavy leading to the RS and the Ninja. Being a Depression baby in '31 Imissed out on a fair bit,so now I intend to make up for it.So far have covered well over 200Ks in the last 10 years. The ZX14 has given me a another lease of life

Welcome to the site..!!Depression baby ? You have been around awhile :)...Two wheels keeps you young at heart' right?
If the 14 has stock exhaust, changing those can lose a lot of pounds. Up to 30 with a system, making life a little easier..

It has a Muzzy exhaust and has been dyno tuned to 187 h/p.It has a fearful exhaust tone and takes off preety well.

Welcome, if you like performance, the 14 is guaranteed to please.

Reading your post, doing the maths, are you saying you are '86' years old?

This is giving a real meaning to the ZX14 being "The Mans Bike"

And to think that I thought I had a few more years of riding. I am turning 61 in April, I guess as long as I am healthy.....
