I've been stalking the group for some time now while shopping for the right bike. Recently found a cherry 2012 ZX-14R, and am trying to get out and get familiar with the bike. Bought the bike with about 5500 miles and just put on its second set of tires (Went with the Michelin Road 4s, and they feel great after the worn out Metzlers.). Friday I made a run up to Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear. The weather was perfect, never below 45; the roads were mainly clear except for the occasional sand and water running across the road from the mmelting snow, and no traffic. About a 250 mile day. So much better than going to work.
