I think FTS is looking for ALL three of the following...

1) Blue ZX-14 (not black, not red).
2) Relatively close proximity to Minneapolis. He said Chicago might be an acceptable distance (6 hours from Minneapolis). However, longer distances may not help.
3) Must be close to $11,500 OTD (with MN taxes and fees).

TJ: I called the regional Kawi rep with my tale of woe. He checked and helped my dealer locate an in the crate blue 14. The selling dealer rightfully wanted some $$ for the transaction so it will be $500 more than last time. At this point it seems fair. It might be here in a little over a week. I feel much better emotionally noww that I know that I'm getting my favorite bike of all time back.
It will be a while before I can ride it. I will still take delivery and put it in my studio. I will be able to do the undertail removal, etc. Before I ride it. If I have the $$ new front springs and shock spring would make things almost perfect.

Thats BS on the dealer wanting more money to do a dealer transfer on the bike. Aint they heard of what goes around comes around. The dealer with the blue 14 might need a bike from your dealer some day. That type of dealer transfer happens all the time. My dealer had to get my bike from about 60 miles away.

In fact the only new bike that I actually got off my dealers showroom was my 85 900 Ninja.

My 96 ZX11 and both of ZX12R's came from Kansas City Mo area..

No extra charges from either dealer. My dealer here in Topeka, Topeka Power Sports is supposed to be getting another blue 14 in sometime soon I believe.
