I’m no c10 owner but my other bike was a ‘91 katana 1100 which I did a lot of sport touring on and for most of the last 7 years, it has just been collecting dust. I have a near new radial tire in the rear that is 8 years old and hard as a rock.For touring I had large soft bags, tank bag and travel bag to bungee cord to my Corbin seat.
With the C14 ( and not all of these will apply to fjr!):
1) Fuel injection! Starts instantly in freezing weather , no choke, bike runs great at sea level and at 12,000’
2) better mpg- old bike got 40mpg, c14 gets 50mpg.
3) traction control and abs
4) power! With a reflash, bike is as fast if not faster, than a ‘92GSXR 1100!
After owning a c14, it’s hard to want to ride another bike . I was curious about the new goldwing until I found out it has less luggage space. You never get tired of that power. At sea level, bike wants to wheelie when you gun it entering a freeway.
This bike could be your jack of all trades bike because it’s comfortable, has lots of cargo space, handles well and offers excellent power. Yes, I know new 600cc sport bikes offer similar acceleration
but it’s pretty easy to get up to speed on the big bike.
