Re. The Pic of the ZX-14.....Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder. I have one.......it's lucious, makes the ZX-12 look seriously dated (my opinion only, so don't get your knickers in a twist) and I REALLY liked those, nearly bought one because I almost got tired of waiting for the 14. I met my first ...

No slipper clutch Doesn't really need one. IMHO these types of bikes were never designed to compete with the latest batch of crotch rockets so they don't need to be as race orrientated.

Just done over 1500km on mine now. Had the first service done. Absolutely no problems to report other than the engine is feeling more powerful every time I ride the bike (not.....really...a.....problem..... :P ). Gearbox is the smoothest I have ever used on any bike. Still very few around, in fact I ...

Friend of mine took these last night after a ride.... Not the best because it's dark, should have some more by the end of the weekend so I'll post them..

As you may or may not know I picked mine up on Tuesday the 23rd and have done just over 750km on it to date, been having way too much fun to tell anyone about it (or answer PMs, take photos etc etc). Took it up to the practice sessions for the Superbikes on Friday with Arwon and attracted a hell of ...

Actually she's sitting in my shed looking all sexy and stuff....

I run BP Ultimate in mine. But that's all I've ever used. When it goes in for service that's whats in the tank, so theoretically that's what it is tuned for. Normal Premium would be fine though as it's still rated as a 92 octane rating I believe where as Ultimate is 98. Is the bike standard or is it ...

And I'm still waiting for mine. I estimated at the begining of the week that there was about a 5% chance of me having my black ZX-14 by Friday just gone. Forever the optimist I looked at the glass being 5% full not 95% empty. *Sigh* maybe by the end of next week.

:D Still yet to get the ZX-14, it's supposed to handle better than the ZX12 and much better than the ZZR 1100, or 1200 for that matter. I'm 195cm tall and like to be able to still walk after I stop riding, which, although I would love one, I don't own a ZX-10 or 9 and why buy a 12 when I have a 14 ...

I can't believe Western Australia is not in the poll, although most of the members of this site seem to be eastern based with only a few of us sandgropers (West Aussies) registered.

There are many great roads around the west and here you can go for two weeks at a time not crossing the same one ...

Man that takes me back, I watched it live, my heart was in my throat. Sorry I don't have the footage. Maybe a phone call to Channel 10 could put you in the right direction, they may have it archived somewhere.

P.S If Mick got back into form, he'd still kick Rossi's arse!!

Some of my best riding days were on a 250cc after I got my restricted license. I also know quite a few people that have kept on with just their 250 because they are cheaper on fuel, cheaper to maintain, lighter, and usually have a lower seat height or are at least narrower than bigger bikes.

So ...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh I see.

As ZZRCHIKKY said we've sorted it out between us

Oh well work bekons, dammit, fining up out there too grrrrrr.

So ZZRCHIKKY, do I bundle you in with all the other type of the bike riders such as the Harley riders, wannabe Harley rides, Goldwing retirees, and cheap arse Hyosung riders because all of those guys get in my way and give me the shits or do I just respect you for having the courage of being able ...
