Last weekends RIDE!!!!! 145!!!!!
I have to say the redline is great!!!!! I adventured down PCH, and went to Kanan Dune road. It had been a while since my Kanan racing days, but I was feeling my MOJO. 20 years of riding all bikes I was reluctant to go all out right away. I rode up and viewed for speed traps, debris, rock slides, wet surfaces, or just poor road surface. after my initial pass at 85, I returned to see a Yamaha R1 feelin froggy. Everyone knows the bike is only as good/brave as the rider. I pulled up to him at 65 and quickly we were off. I sped up to 135 and lost view of my competetor (he wasn't feeling as stupid as i was). I continued and even reached a steady pace at 145 swooooping though turns. The experience was harsh as I was wearing my bean helmit and sunglasses only making for heavy tearing. On the last turn I slowed to 85 before aprroaching PCH to see if it was ok. In second gear I lifted the front wheel vertical and held it for a bit, then proceeded to slow to a quick halt purposely endoing the rear to the sky, stopping perfectly at the line. The folks at the gym on the corner were heavily applauding. I have been in 15 motorcycle related accidents, been over 200MPH, riding for 20 years, on dissability for the last 4 with a titanium spine and dead peoples parts, and I feel I got my MOJO back this weekend. Thank you my trusty Kawasaki Company!!!!! My first 1990 ZX11 had plenty of power, even by todays standard. yet we all know It had no braking or turning ability. This bike is the best ever by far.
FYI: Del amo Motorsports sold there first ZX14 to honda research and Development??? they said they will ride it, then autopsy it.
P.S. I got my ZX14 for 10,800 new at a great dealership in so cal. E-mail me if you want there last one.
