I've had mine for several years now, and always though the suspension was somewhat harsh, and unforgiving.
Last summer, I dropped my wallet beside the interstate. I knew just where it was, but it was 100 miles from home. It was late, but very warm.
I filled the tank, and arrived to pick up my wallet @ 30 minutes later.
Many of the bikes "faults" ended up being more, "Oh, now I get it..."
My Ninja 100 has penske fork cartridges and a penske shock. Ohlins steering damper, too. With that being said, if I had to take a motorcycle to 150mph, I'll take the c14. Bags and all. The suspension that felt a little harsh, and unforgiving became very nice at elevated speeds. Same is true for wind protection, and engine power.
100 miles in 30 minutes? My math skills are a bit rusty but wouldn't that be 200mph?
I have noticed that the faster you ride the C14 the better it feels and rides...
Mine has the same problem
If I read it right the wallet was 100 miles from home. Don't know how far rcannon was from the wallet.
I was really 80 miles in 35-40 minutes...I was so screwed. Brian Williams and I were just riding along....
, the fuel tank feels like it holds too little fuel.
I wonder if Brian Williams has a C14....Ha ha. Nah, he'd have said he did it in 15 minutes . Hope the liar gets booted. He's more of a lame entertainer than a newsman; let him replace Maury Povich.
Man, now I'm gonna get suspended from the forum....
