Anyone trade ther 14 for a 2008 zx 10?
The more I think about it I really do not do much long distance riding. I live in central Pa and beleive it or not we have alot of nice twisting roads really close to my house. I love my 14, I have a tskugi full ehaust, power commander, sprocket. Just got done powdercoating my wheels and rear sets black on my 07 blue and I am really happy with the bike. Point is at 34 I still love wheelies, twisties, ect. I can trade my 2007 with 7000k and the above mods for about 2800 diff. I do still owe 5800 on my bike so I would be financeing around 8500 bucks. I know some of you guys pay cash but I am a manager at a car dealership so things are really tight. Problem is my old lady likes to ride. the 10 looks like a very bad two up bike. Or I could by a new cbr for about 400 more. any help or input?

Keep the 14 and save the money for real. I thought about it myself but I love my 14 and not getting rid of it yet.

Just took her down to the dealership to sit on the 10. She is not very big (about 5'4) first thing she said was how high she sits. But she does not ride that often. Believe it or not she gave me the ok. Another reason is I got 7k on my 14 already and the warranty is gone. I know 14s are pretty bullet proof but like I said in my earlier post its eating oil bad.

If you are into twisties you made a good trade.

Give and take if you ask me. My GSXR1000 is a canyon bike of the purest sense. But my 14 is far more fun to ride for any distance and does just fine in the twistys. If i only had a road like deals gap then i would consider a 10. But here in washington state theres only one bike that does it all the 14. Maybe next year i can look at a new liter bike but more than likely it would be the honda.
But your 14 is much much more comfy than a 10 or a R1 or GSXR. Go buy her a 636. You keep the 14 and if you dont. REGRET will soon follow.
