Just Changed Colours

Post by Bucket »

Newbie here

Just brought a 2012 ZX-14R, I have only been able to do 40k's on here as I broke 2 ribs the day before I was to collect it.

Even with a very short ride under my belt it felt great, can't wait to break her in and get out and do some real riding.

(Oh yeh last bike was a 2010 Yamaha R1)

Welcome to the site mate 8)

Bit of a difference in bike there! weight would be similar ;)
power delivery and handling would be quite different...

Thanks For the Welcome

Yeh the ribs are feeling a bit better, and the change was due to a couple of things.

More power, more comfort in the riding position,and I was looking for something that offered both of these things.

Have a big 4 day ride coming up in Tazzy in November so I had to get it now to break her in, Well thats what I told my wife
