    I feel exactly the same about Betty.



    Perhaps it's that magic fourteen hundred cubic centimetre displacement figure that's doing it for us?

    My sole bother with Betty is the knowledge that by the time she's worn out, Suzuki won't still be making GSX1400s, so I won't be able to replace her with another one.

    kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.

I just love my bike. Thats it. Everything about it is fantastic. Sure its not the perfect bike in the world, what is? But everytime I ride it, and ride something else, I cant imagine what I would replace it with. So its not like Im not comparing it to other bikes, I most definately am and in real riding terms too, but this is the one. Does anyone else love their bike to ride as much as I do? (I still admire more astetically pleasing bikes than mine, hell I had an Aprillia for looks, not the 14).
    If you swapped all the words: "ZX14: bike, bikes" for the word "DMNTD",would that still be true?
    Well you know the next thing you should trade in!

    And has that bloke with the girl's name mentioned that he finally has a bike?

    Pity they're not cheap eh? If I find something I adore I go and buy a couple just incase they stop making them, bit harder to do with bikes I guess.

    Perfection is not something you should ever attain, but something to always strive for. For if we actually achieve our idea of perfection, is it then any longer perfect?

    I don't think you'd be able to trade Chris in on a 1098, maybe a 1098 CENTRESTAND!:
    Yeah, me and the girl will ride down for a visit.......

    I do not love my bike.
    I like it, but I don't love it. I love my cat more.
    If I wrote it off I would be regretful but not devastated.
    It's a machine, not a person.

    What the hell is that Suzuki doing in there!! Anyway, why don't we see a few more of these goodies see the light of day on a ride or two?

    Hmm, you might hear me say I love my bike but I don't actually "love it"
    Just use those word to express how much I enjoy the bike and riding it and riding in general.



    But I love ZX14's

    All in good time. To be quite honest I'm having so much fun getting my pound of flesh and more out of the CX.

    i love my bike and i would be devestated if i destroyed it. it does everything i want it to do. fantastic 2up. good power that needs to be respected and when you want to get up and go it knows how to do that with style.
    I was surposed to click over 100,000 on this trip this weekend bit it might be a couple of times round the block when I get home to run it to the mark. It is about 380k to home and I am on 99510 now. Hope it is a fine day tomorrow and we might get lost for a little while

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....
