I enjoyed my ZX14, except for sport touring type riding. It wouldn't go as far between fill-ups, rider position, cargo, wind/windshield, fooling with a chain, etc
The plusses were it would rip my face off as far as power, less stopping distance require and would hot brake/trail brake into turns better, turn faster, lean further, etc
The new Zx14 has my attention too brutha but i have to keep my behemoth C14 for trips no matter what bike i purchase next =)
