Depends what you want in a bike.Heard good things about them,if you want a big grunty fast sports tourer,then its perfect.

Its too big for a sports bike. I like corners.

He's 32, and his last bike was totalled so he needs a new one. How is that 42 and balding?

Rubbish, I got Barbenders one around taupo in the low 1.40's on road tyres....they corner fine :)
I wanna get one and turn it into a racebike.....anyone got a spare they don't want?

ZX14 is a nice machine and there are some great deals on run-out models.

The question is ... can you afford the tyres?

:niceone: Absolutely, best bike I've ever ridden, had mine for 7 months and done nearly 22000km on it.... You just need to get rid of the crap OEM tyres and chuck on something better.

LOL!!!!!!!! Mate...there's a certain KB R6 rider that knows a ZX14 can do tight Coro twisties more than ok when the right pilot is in charge of the ZX14.

One of the guys in my club just got one & took it to brass. He said the ride wasn't long enough! Really impressed.
