A good friend is gone
My trusty ZX-14 has gone down the road to a new owner . . . time to go join the Concours 14 board for the new toy that simply MUST follow me home.

Well Steve, with my back problems the ZX-14 wasn't comfortable on the ruptured discs. The Connie allows me to sit up and be comfortable, while offering a better platform for hauling the wife or my little girls. I'll miss it but the C14 will give me most of it.

Better keep us updated Stalwart, I really want to know how a real 14 rider likes the C14, how the fun level compares on the street. OMG a C14 turbo, I might really have to get one now. How is the handling though? I love my 14 with the bags but just a bit more comfort would be nice on long trips. My girlfriends loves my 14 but was afraid to ride it 3 hrs to Gulfshores yesterday, I can't blame her I guess. We still had a great time in the Nissan Titan.

Congrats Stalwart,
I too am having a little problem with ZX-14 withdraw. Yesterday I took the second key to the dealer that I bought the VFR.
Seeing that beautiful bike sitting all by itself I started thinking hey why not have 3 bikes right?
Then my senses brought me back to earth. Still it's hard to just leave a motorcycle that's been to 24 states in temps that ranged from 24-110 degrees F.
