Looks like you have room for the new ZX1400R

A few months ago I would have bet money I would be buying the ZX-14.  But after riding my friends Ninja 1000 for a day I realized it was probably the better choice for my riding.  Even when I got the Ninja home last week I was wondering if I made the right choice.  But Saturday I put 335 miles on the Ninja and there was no doubt in my mind I made the right choice.  A ZX would be fun to have, but it would have to be a fourth bike because I'm really happy with the Ninja.

I was hoping to add the new Ninja to my stable. When I asked about the center stand, I was told to check with the parts department. Sorry, if it don't come with a center stand I leave it on the showroom floor. The salesman looked at me like I was asking about a kick starter.

I bought a "racing" stand for mine.  Very easy to use and I can see I won't miss the centerstand as much as I might have thought I would.

In most respects I believe I could sell my  sv650s and c14 to go 100% with the Ninja 1000 .    Actually, that was the long term plan before I fully adjusted to the c14.
