Like I always say, unless your tires are all buggered up from one edge to the other it doesn't make a difference what bike/tires you're running, too far from it's limits so the only limits are the rider's. I've seen a ZX12 smoke a few 600's a twisty bits of roads(and the track!).

You make a fool out of yourself when you try to talk like you are a skilled rider Jet/Blueford.
I've seen your chicken strips (remember that picture you accidently posted with your license plate in it too?).
Those tires had at least two thousand miles on them and at least 1.5" chicken strips.
Don't talk to me about balls old man, I run the tires right up to the sidewall and can post pic's to prove it. I'd smoke your AARP ass on my 12 and on the R1 you might as well stay home and watch Jerry Springer like you do every other day.

quote: I agree with your formula, but the point is the zx14 will be just fine for corners.
And I agree with you on that point.
Everything I hear to this point that the 14 will handle at least as good or better than the 12.

Yup: Now when I meet a young kid and he trys to B/S me about how he's the man, the new fastguy but when I look at his tires with flat middle and the unworn "Chicken strips" are a mile wide the only person he is chit'n is himself. I don't ride as fast as I used to, I can, 35 years of sport riding and 5 years of AMA:CCS and WERA R/Racing skills are still there and my reaction times are not faded much, but on more than one occasion in the mountians of Arizona I have seen what boulders and guardrails will do to flesh and bone. The reason I'm a little slower nowdays is that I'm not afraid I'm going to get hurt ( I'm way to stupid for that) but for the other guy or my wife when we ride together!
A few years ago I bought a Road King (my first Harley). A few of my friends and I took the Globe / Roosevelt / Payson loop. Sat. Feb 24/02 Beautiful day , perfect even, till we started f@#k'n around and had to make a speed run down Az 87 to home. Road Kings handle like shit. But once you get used to the fact that they wiggle and wobble you adjust. I went around three of my buddys sparks fly'n from the floorboards doing about 90 ( I had to be first, Alfa frign #1 dog.) Know the feeling? Well I made it down that hill first that day but my good friend Kalib Pulver did not. I am not sorry for most of the decisions I have made in my life I very much am for that one. He was a rider of limited skill. He crashed two corners later headfirst into a ravine of boulders. I did not even know till a hour later as we had all made the break for home. I have to live with that responsibility and consequence every day whether I ride or not.
Now I CHOOSE to ride and teach new riders I find this much more rewarding than beating one of your friends to death.

Turn Smurn...I would rather 1/4 mile a bike all day, then ride in the twisties!!!
In the twisties there is more room for error which causes accidents I dont feel like going down anymore, 6 times is enough and at this point in my like it would cost me too much $$$ going down, loss of work and fixing the bike AND missing DragRacing points races!!!

Thats Jet/BlueFord, ToolMan.
Motherfucker talks shit like there is no tomorrow but its all vaporware.
I'll give you a for instance:
He talked shit under about 20 different userid's on .org when I was a moderator over there.
So I called his bluff on my last Cali trip and told him point blank "I am coming to California on this date, I'll have a sportbike rented, lets ride I'll even buy you lunch".
He pussed out ASAP. Excuse? "I'm a bad man and you don't want to know me".
I don't know how they do it out around Palm Desert, CA where this fuckwad lives, but out here we call that an internet poseur.
No balls, just bullshit. I fucking despise people that run their mouth off like that but won't back it up, and yes, he is just like the 20,000 other 18 year old squids out there that think they know how to ride.
This birds for you BlueFord - if you ever get the balls to actually meet me and put your words into action I'll be waiting.

Fish he's a live grenade and I've been blowing him up for 3 years, such fun, KA-BOOM Ka-BOOM over and over.
And the funny thing is, I'm always joking, he just can't handle anyone poking fun at him.

Fish, you are the paradigm of cool, seriously you don't delete or ban, you have no concept "of being defensive" you're comfortable in your own skin and best of all you're never threatened by insignificant bullshit!

Thats because Fish doesn't know your history like I do asshole.
Your "humorous" shit like creating a logon id on .org and pretending you where a friend of Mikes and posting that he was killed in a motorcycle wreck? Real fucking funny asshole.
Posting dozens of racist threads under the 30+ i.d.s you created?
You are a convicted drug smuggler by your own admission mother fucker. People like you make me want to puke.
So go fuck yourself and don't ever post in response to me again and I'll do the same for you.
It doesn't get any clearer than that.

Bobby it's Friday night, I'm a little high, but seriously why do you let me get to you?
That shit about the testicular gap, come on, laugh it off and that other shit I did at the org., nobody cares here. You being a friend of Dale's, Jere and many others over there, a moderator and years being there and you leave under such bitterness, that's a bigger story!
I was just a troll, you were somebody, an inter circle confidant, you could have been a contender, if somebody had been looking out for you like Rod Steiger.
Lighten up cupcake.

I am not a friend of Dales. I was a friend of Jere's. I am a friend of everybody else I met over there.
But you just wrapped it for me partner. I am way too busy to waste my time on crap like this.

Will the 14 turn a corner???? depends on how hard you want to work. As myself and a few others like Ted G and Dino will tell you. (the above mentioned have both 12rs and a 10R at the same time) The 12 will haul balls around a corner nearly as fast as any liter bike, BUT!!!! and this is the big catch here............ You have to work yur ASS off to make it happen. You better be skilled and have the God given talent to know where the edge really is. It can be done with all these things. The 10R on the other hand really takes 90% of the work out of this equasion for you. You think and it does. I'm sure the 14 will be the same way. So for 85% of the guys it won't handle for shit! For the other 15% it will be a workable deal. BUT! Like Blitz said above it will never be a liter bike. EVER!!
