Well, its like this. I love my c14 and dont see myself parting with it for a long time since I was able to get the seat and bar position to my liking.
So, I stopped into the local shop today for a c14 oil filter. I was looking at an fz1, thinking how it might be nice for in town work, single up. They had a nice, white 2011 that looked really good.
I overhear another customer looking at a zx14, limited. He had a ninja 1000 for a month and wanted something Bigger, faster, etc. So I listened. His 2012 ninja was green, but no abs...oh, well....
Plus, the damn ninja needs the gas tank filled...can you believe that? PLUS, it was a millionth of an inch too tall to fit in my van. Yes, some bad words were said.
So, I ended up paying under a lot under10 for a 2012 under warranty. maybe our guy here can help me with an extension??? I would post a pic, but its nto here!
Again, I love my c14, and its going nowhere. I wan tit in tip-top condition for two up ridign/touring. Plus, its a little too much for short rides. Too heavy, too much power, and bulky. If all my rider were over 20 miles, I'd stick with the c14.
Be warned, if making the same decision, or thinking about a ninja. Insurance is seriously nuts on the ninja1k. Progressive thinks its an official world superbike and wants a grand a year for good coverage. I found another company called AMIG thats wants 272.00 per year for better coverage. They may get all of my bikes and Progressive can kiss my ass.
So, heres what I'll have tomorrow..if I live long enough. My Cannon family has terrible genetics and we generally dont live much past 45 years old. I've over the wall at 46.
