When I just bought my C14, I had a guy on a smaller cruiser pull up next to me at a light and snidely asked, "what size is that?"
I told him it was a 1400--he replied something along the lines of, "that thing is a whale."
I said, well, I have another smaller bike at home (Z1000) and bought this one for longer distance riding.
He then smuggly noted, "I've ridden this to Canada, and its the smallest cruiser they make." (something like a Suzuki 650)
I just told him to have a good one, but I was thinking to myself that I could ride a CT70 across the country if I really wanted to, but why?
