Getting bashed for gettting the 14
My traveling buddies are giving me shit constantly about the 14. I had an 06 gixxer 1000 and was killing the hayabusa if i might say so; they disapprove of the bike. They say it's too big and can't get low like the liter bikes. Now 2 more of them bought the gixxer 1000 and on the way to Columbia, I murderes them. The bike was low enough for me to drag my knee on more than a couple of occasions and to my suprise, it didn't get playful with me. She stood up, Dropped a gear and launched like I was sitting still. The front tire barely left the ground and not a tank slap in sight. This was my first time on the bike. My buddy turned me loose on it in order to get a feel and as soon as the damn dealer near me gets one, She'll be on the side of my zx9. What do I have to do to get the approval. Or better yet, let'em talk shit, I'll keep running away from them and looking good doing it. I think they are giving me shit because I'm the youngest and smallest with the biggest bike. 22yrs, 128lbs in full leathers riding with 35 to 52yr and the smallest is 216. Just had to vent a little.

Why do you give a shit? Did you buy the bike for you, or to please/impress others??

I heard the TRE would get the low end torque back. Is this a fact or do I need to remove the restrictor plates?

Duc's, GXSR's, et all sportbike guys have hated riding w/me ever since 1999, when big bikes arrived, Busa's, 12R's, and now the 14 is much worse.
They were/are only happy in really tite stuff.
The 10R's and GXSR's could hang for the last year or 2.
A few are taking about converting to the old man's bikes.
My 10R was fun, but in the real world the 14 is more fun/usable for me, trips, 2 up, etc.
Am I right?
LOL
I'm not sayin' that I would mind my 14 being #30 lighter, #500 wet w/pipe.

I've learned a long time ago that there are 22 yr olds that act as if they were 40 and 50 yr olds that act as if they were 16. I'm taking a shot that you fall into that first category. As long as you respect and you can handle the power at hand ride on and enjoy.
I was 25 when I got my first bike (KZ-305) and 29 when I bought my ZX-11. Knocking on wood, I've still never had a speeding ticket, and I'm just short of 250,000 miles of (motorcycle miles) under my belt.
Still if you were my son I would have a serious talk with you about peer pressure. Remember the reason we ride is to be an individual.... although I like when people take a second look at the 14 What we ride is no ones business but our own.

Right on mano. The busa's won't even look my way, even when I'm parked. The rest wave and want to know how they stack up. I was runnin with an r6 and he about blew it out the backside at 150. When we stopped he says, "How could you still be accelerating when I had to get out of it?".
I told him, "Thats just how smoooooth this thing is."

MATTZ, Nightmare,
We rock. 14's are bad,bad, bad.
A pipe/map/fly's, and bring um all on.
Cars under 1000 rwhp, bikes under 175 rwhp, GXSR/10R, etc, need not apply.
Your friends R6 makes lots of rwhp to do 170mph. True or calculated?

Hey nightmare, stepped out to blast some shit for a couple days. To answer you question, I don't think the R6 topped out. Didn't ask. He had to back off to keep from blowin out the backside of the corner. He just couldn't hang with my balck beauty. In a corner, Ye Ha!!
AND AWAY WE GO. SOMEBODY HAS TO FOLLOW.
