That sounds suspiciously like a "ram-air" corrected number.

At the crank you'd realistically be looking at around 175hp.

178.22 to be exact as it was dyno'd in October last year, and Max Torque of 106.05, more than enough for this chick

Yeah it's a bit freaky owning a bike for so long but there simply is no other bike we can think to replace it with to be honest.
Despite its size I can throw the thing around the tight stuff better than what most would do wit their wee 600's (you know who you are ) and it's just soooooooo good to ride long distance!

Oh well...at 50,000kms it gets a massive birthday present from me. A 1540cc big bore kit and a super charger!! Now that's what I'M talking about!

If he does what we have (cans,DNA air filter,removed secondary butterflies) and installs a PC111 then I could email the correct map if he wants.

Ok if he's going for a full system I may be able to acquire another map for him from a local dude.

now just keep Chris away and itll be good for another year

Congrads on picking the right bike. My Connie 14 is just over a year old now and it ain't for sale either - probably not going to be quite a few more years yet either.

**munterk6** · 26th August 2008, 19:31

Them ZX14's are a bloody good tourer...way to heavy for a sportsbike

**Swoop** · 26th August 2008, 19:39

It is most surprising to see a bike remaining in your gargre.

Perhaps it has "everything needed" of a bike?
Perhaps Dmntd has forgotten about it; thinks it has already been sold and the owner simply hasn't bothered to pick it up???
