I hope it was a happy and peacful day for you all. I'm sipping a few beers and weighing parts removed from the new bike.

Merry Christmas Rook, I don't think there
is anyone else on the forum though.....

Merry Christmas from sunny Indonesia!

Had to have a rescue cat that I got 5 years ago put down after she had a heart attack on Christmas Day. Looked in the garage and trying to decide what bikes should go as my legs are not working like they should in my opinion. I know I am gonna keep the Harley even if it is the heaviest of the 4 but also the low seat height makes it really easy to ride. Wife watched me trying to hold up the FJR getting it out of the garage and offered to let her take out her Can Am so I could get a ride in. Thinking about having to go to a 3 wheeler is blasphemy.

Mr Rook how much have you taken off the new bike?

So far just the battery. That was the same as the Gen1 except for the grills. I broke a tab on that unfortunately. I got the weight of the battery and related bolts and brackets. Planning to replace the broken body panel. I'll be putting everything back in the near future in order to get an accurate weight of the whole stock bike. After that, the rear fender and belly pan plus bracket come off. Maybe I'll get a Brock's exhaust on there but I'm seriously considering going straight to turbo.

Thinking about having to go to a 3 wheeler is blasphemy.

Merry Christmas And Happy New Year To All

Hey Rook, I never go too far away. I'm always watching sports that chase raw power.

Still of the belief The ZX-14 was the best bike ever built especially when it comes to the smile fun factor. I know all bikes have their purpose in their respective places but, and its a big but,,,, the ZX-14 can fit so many roles. Wheely Bike, Drift Bikeanf of course drag. The list is what you make it. Not many bikes can make that claim.

I'm still looking for a better bike and have not found the smile factor the ZX-14 Brought Me.

So I come here once in and while to see if you guys found something I missed.

Romans, don't forget sport tourer

And I got a new Duc a few months ago and like it so been thinking about selling my ZX ... but I just really wonder if I'm gonna regret it! Damn! New Duc:

Anyway ... Merry Christmas all ... hope all is well

Romans, don't forget sport tourer

No sir. I didn't forget.

Nice collection. I had the same Diaevel in my garage for about 3 weeks. My buddy smashed it. Not cheap to fix so please don't do that lol. After I finished the rebuild I was fortunate enogh to put a few miles on it.
Nice Bike. Congrats.

Romans - UGH! What happened?? The Diavel is damn fast, that's for sure ... and the quick shifter makes it seem like it's about as fast as the big ZX, although I doubt it is. Well, maybe it's similar up to ~100, then the 14 prob rockets past into space --->>>>>>>>

Totally going by feel; I've never dragged a bike.

Before I finished reading your reply that you fixed the Diavel and rode it, I thought maybe this is the one you're talking about ... Wow, this is way beyond what I'd ever want to into
