Traded In The 10R
Leftover 07 model. Only 21 miles so far. I like it a lot.
The 10 was not a great fit for me, and the dealer was really motivated to sell the 14. So after my trade, it was a pretty painless swap.
My first new bike ever!

twelve guy here, I miss it(first bike). I'll always have a place in my heart for the 12, but the 14 is an all-around better machine fo me.

Thanks guys!
I am really looking forward to putting some miles on her this week. And then a trip to the dragstrip in about 3 weeks, and Maxton at the end of June...should be a lot of fun! 
It will be interesting to see how the performance numbers compare to my 12, for a "joe average" guy like me.
No current plans to part with the 12R!

Nice, 2 bikes. I bought mine last year and tried to get the wife the take my Z1000 (2007) but she was a new rider and wanted nothing to do with it. I traded it without enough kms for the first service. Would have loved to keep it to. Congrats.

Nice bike and congrats on the 14. I was and still am a 12 owner and the bike is very good to me, but since I got my 14 the 12 has accumulated a little dust. By the way silver is the fastest color j/k

I was at Maxton this past weekend, and then it rained. Finally got to ride again yesterday. I've put 160 miles on it since yesterday and given it it's first oil change.
The bike is amazingly smooth and quiet. Handles great...and the gearbox is the slickest I've tried. I'm quite impressed!
