Although the C14 is not a favorite among most long distance riders, why? I can't tell you.  Most of them are too busy drinking the BMW kool-aid.  Over here on the east coast, myself and a fellow rider from North Carolina (John) compete quite well in 24+ hour plus rallies on them.

Great wright up.

Thanks.  I have also added John's write-up.  He actually finishes in the Top 5 and routinely rides the heck out of the bike.
