A couple of years ago I was looking to upgrade my 01' ZZR1100 to an 06' ZX14R....... But as I also wanted to get into track days and I couldn't justify two bikes (so I was told
), I got an 07' ZX10R. However not wanting to throw $13K worth of bike around the track, I later also ended up getting a cheap trackie
Anyway, my question now is, should I keep the 10 or get the 14 ?
The reason I ask is, I found a nice 14 and I have been offered a good deal on the exchange. I'm loving the 10, but come Motogp later in the year a 3,000 klm trip, i'm going to wish I had the 14...............What do you reckon I should I do ?????????

Get the big barge
Probably more suitable mate
But I want to see heaps of wheelstands & want you to use all of the tyres this time.... you will need practice anyway before going to the GP & having texta used to show others what level of kishyness you fit into, suggest some rider training with Wattie..... he be the master

You planning on doing long hauls apart from the gp? Seems exessive getting a 14 just for one trip.
If not just htfu and tough the trip out

Keep the 10. A 14 will feel like a barge to you. The 14 is a nice bike but 3,000 km should not be an issue on the 10. Check out a temporary after market seat to ease your sore arse. Of course you could buy the 14 and keep the 10 and tow it on a trailer behind the 14, or better yet buy a Harley then you can plow the fields as well. Have yourself a pint of Jim Beam and all will be clear, especially with a beer.
