I agree. IMO pound for pound best value in motorcycling. Kawasaki has been making the in-line 4cyl for so long. Such a great motor and bulletproof.

Since, Ms. Iron bought her C14 in the middle of winter, it seemed like high time for a maiden voyage even though it was 36 and snowing occasionally.
So far, great bike. There was enough weather protection for me to be comfortable with a single over layer, the bike was impeccable on some sketchy pavement, and the heated grips were "good enough". A little more heat wouldn't hurt anything though. The KTM units on my ZX-14 will fry my hands on high. On the big plus side, the bags are big enough for a mini-WalMart run and the power is bagger fabulous. It's not my ZX-14R, but pretty ripping for a bagger. Like some others have mentioned, might have to experiment with a different windshield at some point, but Ms. Iron has the final say on that. Still, that's my only concern for now. |

This was a clue and was around 50 miles from the nearest fuel:  By the time I seen this sign, it was too far to turn back. This was, by far, the best section of that road.   Bouncing out the other end:  Congrats on the big mileage. I've managed around that on my '08 but you've done it in half the time!
