Would have to be something different from a fast street bike,maybe the new KTM 950r super enduro or the new Triumph tiger.
quote:bruiser - I have 4 bikes. The 14, a BMW R1150RT for 2-up touring, a BMW F650GS Dakar for dual-sport, and a Kaw KLX300R for dirt. Can your ZX14 fill all those roles?
Definitely not the dirt. I had an RM125 was for that. I don't have a 14, I do like them, I have a Busa and will keep it a little longer and it couldn't fill all those roles either. I was just curious. I had a honda CBR and a Busa at the same time and I ended up selling it because it just sat around. It was a great bike but every time I went into the garage planning to ride the CBR my mind would suddenly change. I'd think that would happen with the 14's too. If you got the $$ to do it cool.
BTW I don't talk much in here I just like to hear whats up with the 14's Don't flame me too bad for owning a Busa.

Vmax is not finished being designed. A while back I took part in a survey done by Yamaha to guage what the public wanted..........so we wait.

I was looking at the KTM enduro's today. They have a 500cc bike that's 250 lbs. Sounds like a damn nice bike. I hate that orange color though.
I don't think I'll need any other street bike besides my 14, but there is a lot of fun to be had offroad. IMO you can have just as much, or more fun offroad with a lot less danger and legal problems.
One thing about supermotards, those are not offroad tires!! You hit some sand with those and you are going to be like a hippo on roller skates. Even my KLR650 tires are unstable in sand and they have a pretty agressive tread.

I love enduro's and if there was a place around here to ride one i would get one .... I'm holding off till 08 and see what happens with the Busa ....Maybe Kawi will offer a naked 1400 .... I loved My zrx1200r so a zrx1400r would be right up my alley ....The UK gets all the cool naked bikes and we get nothing ...

+1 the 2007 R1 is awesome, its been on my mind too.
The Aprilia 1000R is another one I've been thinking about parking next to my 14, but I can't make myself by a bike for 35% more $ and under-performs the R1
