How much faster is the zx14 vs the concours? I know it is faster, no need for that talk, but does it really have that much more snap during something like a 50mph rollon? i heard how much better the BMW k1600gt is yet this morning i walked one on the highway, maybe he wasnt that good of a rider but he got the jump on me at 60, at about double was when he was looking at my taillight. I am still stock, but have plans to change that this winter.
wow..thanks for the comparison.. i think you missed where i was going.
I think after today i will stop spying on the k1600 forums as it appears to be filled with guys that think they are faster than they are in reality.
Dont get the wrong idea, i wasnt plannign any races against a zx14, unless he had 2 flat tires.
You have to understand that they paid quite a bit more than what we pay for our bikes. It has to be faster...That's the truth. They think they're $9K faster then we are on our Connies; but I don't think money leaving your pocket faster counts.
Big mike...thanks, to me being walked by a zx would not be a surprise but for him to hand me my @$$ like i was on a ninja 250 is something different. Yes, i know some of the bmw guys are dreamers..but hey so arent some of the harley guys, when you spend that much you have to think it is better.
I hear guys on the k1600 forums talk about how much faster their bike is than a c14
I also equate buying a Harley to purchasing membership in a club. It's not about the ride, it's about the membership, and all that comes with it.
A couple of years ago Kawasaki had a factory truck with all their models going around the country for demo rides. I've been waiting for them to do it again so I and test ride a ZX14R.
So will the Connie walk a K1600GT? We shall find out the next time I meet up with one
I suspect they would be comparable.
