Yeah, guys, I wish it had more power. I wish it had the V-4 engine. (I don't particularly wish it had 6-speeds, at least not with this engine. The 5-speed is very good and the gear ratios work great).
I really wish it was cheaper. But, other than that, it's the bike that I needed and wanted, for a price I could afford. I spent quite a bit of money making it fit me a bit better and better-suited to long trips, but there simply wasn't anything else I could find that fit my desires and needs as well. So if you guys are happy on your C-14s, I'm glad. I wouldn't have been.
I was very happy on my C-10 for 11 years and 165,000 miles, but I was ready for something that was better-suited to an old, fat, cripple. The NT works for me.
I'll continue to be glad to answer any questions you may have. And I'll read disparaging opinions with a smile. From now on, I won't respond to those. All of us are entitled to opinions. I like your bikes. But I like mine better.
