NICE! Was considering a leftover '12 ZX14R last year, but ended up gettin a leftover '12 Ninja 1000.

How's the ZX14R compared to the C14?

Much lighter, and the acceleration is fierce! Yank your arms out of their sockets fierce. Legs are much higher, and bars much lower. Wish kawi would put this engine in the Connie.

My poor Connie is just sitting in the garage, dirty. I feel bad for her, but She'll be ready when I am.
I'm taking the new bike out today on my way to a haircut. It's a twisty route where I can enjoy the lighter weight, and better suspension. The ZX still weighs almost 600 pounds, but feels like a 600 compared to the Connie. I bought some chain lube for the first time in years... ::)

Maybe I'll stop along the way and snap a pic for you guys. Just to rub it in a little more. ;D

That poor thing is a neglected garage queen. My Wife won't drive it, and I rarely take it anywhere. It sure is fun when I do though. 8)
