Marketing and word games are really funny.
1) Stretching a bike helps E.T. not MPH.
2) MR9 gas is not worth 7MPH on that bike as it is heavy. (but another type of gas will)
3) 5.50's in the 1/8 is not a showroom zx14.
I hope no one thinks they can do the "posted" mods and get Rickey to run those times on your bike cause you will be disappointed. But, he is at most races and he will test a bike if you ask right, so try it and see.

I posted this there as well, the interval times are about that for a 12 with mods. The 14 is bad, but if you have a 12, some money on the 12 would make it just as fast......., and........., I dont see any reason it will go any bigger than I 12 already will............, bug question is this......., will that motor bolt in our 12 frames............
also, remember this disclaimer should follow......Rickey was riding this bike......
Your results may vary.........
Not trying to knock the 14, it looks to be a real monstor, just dont see the need to go off selling the 12 just yet.........
Yes, I think I'll keep my 212 rwhp 124 ft/lbs torque 2k 12 for awhile also, and look good doing it  .

Oh yeah.
Ricky has a magic clutch hand. I've watched him "do the impossible" since his 600 for more than 10 years.

only because at this point you've got too much money in it to justify going to a stock bike that runs near the same numbers as your 12 does. 14XX CC's to run in the 8's and it's maxed out. FAIL
