Cheating on Connie with a ZX14R
« on: November 29, 2012, 08:46:30 AM »
One of the cool perks at my job is called product familiarization.  It landed a 2013 ZX14r in my garage for a few weeks now. Um, it is the fastest motorcycle I have ever ridden.  I sure hope Big K puts that engine in the next Concours.
It's a beast that makes my Connie feel slow.  In second gear at 70mph it will rip the front wheel off the ground and stand up like a dirt bike...
Interestingly, I feel faster in corners on the Connie because I like the riding position better, but inhaling straight section on the ZX is insane.....

Sounds like you have a cool job!  If I could get into the motorcycle industry and still make what I currently make it would be living the dream.

I do go to as many demo rides as I can and my local dealer would let me ride any used bike that came in the door and some of the new bikes.

Yup...unless you own a business in the industry you will never make that much

Yes it has abs

I really hope this engine goes in a concours
