I've been riding street bikes since 1970, I've rode such JUNK compaired to this bike ::)I've heard about the junk tires, I put 7,300 miles on those junk tires, I bought P3 's when I was at 3,000 because of all the stories , but found no good reason to change .
I love power and taking corners fast and low, my front tire was bald on the sides not in the center.
I live in south Fl. where the roads are wet from sprinklers hitting the street , Ficus trees dropping their berries twice a year ( like hitting a ice patch) rain at anytime in the summer, day or night because of tropical weather, and I could not be happier , unless it was a 400 something lb bike, I guess you can't have it all, My last bike was a V max , lots of power but rough , nothing like the ZG 1400.
I love the gismos , windshield , ABS , Traction control , Tire sensors (except on cold days, need to fix that ) lights are great , no HIDs for me , I've added Hyper lights front and rear stop and turn and those brakes WORK just fine!
I did not renew my motorcycle lic for years because my wife begged me not to ride anymore , she knows I can't control my self If I have power at my disposal...(thats why I got a old mans Touring bike
) so they passed a law in Fl that you HAD to take a Riders course to get a MC lic like you never had one before, well I took the class with my friend (Mr Wheelie/ Endo) he moved out of state for two years to play LEO and had to take it also, I stopped the bike shorter , than they ever saw it done, a little Buell ( smoken tires) They also gave me the super hero of the swerve award , yeah kind of a joke , but I like putting it down in corners.
I have a friend who races and teaches road course and he said he NEVER uses the rear brake??
Yeah I know ours is always in use somewhat but I'm not going to lay it it a corner at 120mph like he does. Remove ABS , not on my bike.
