2007 Kawasaki ZX-14 motor
A couple of months ago I bought a black ZX-14 from a local S. California dealership. I hadn't ridden a motorcycle previously. In my inexperience I went around a corner about sixty. The bike slid and I fell off. I wanted to repair it but the dealership totaled up the cost of parts & labor & determined that repair cost would exceed the cost a new bike

That dealer sould be shot!!! What was he thinking selling a ZX-14 to somone with NO-EXPERENCE...
Yes he made a sale now , but the cost could have been some ones life.
He should think about future sale, having the individual scare the crap out of himself or herself or
possibly die does not generate future M/C sales

People just don't understand. My cousin has jumped from a 600, two months exp, to riding some guys 14 at the track. I can handle it he says........, yeah, but you havnt had to handle it yet........
When it breaks loose at 100, or the front end comes up at 100, or both, it takes a little more to man handle that than a little 600........, i hope he wont get hurt, because he will not listen to me.........
