It's still a small little 1000. Low on torque and not a all day Sport Touring Bike.
It's a Race Bike with lights. Too small and cramped for us over 6' feet tall riders that are not 20 anymore.
Too few dealers, and even fewer BMW mechanics that have the experience to deal with
all the new electrics, etc. Parts..... hope you have deep pockets. Welcome to the Real World of street riding. I'll keep my 14.
+1 well said .... Azx14 or busa is a do it all bike ...

I noticed that Brock is using, MoCool by Motul, coolant in the BMW. Is this suppose to be better at cooling than Engine Ice?

They are made the same way ... What it does is ballance the PH of the water .. That makes it stick to the inside of block and cooling passages to better remove the heat ..

Good Luck, hope he does not have the same wheelie problem Ryan did....ouch.
I bet you guys will win some races.
Now that you are "into" the BMW are you going to R&D anymore performance ZX-14 parts?

Shine was who I was guessing was going to ride the BMW. The man can ride and this should make things a lot of fun to watch this year.

Wow calm down Brock most of these guys on this site think the 14 is the fastest bike on the planet none of them have your experiance on inteligence . you not only put down real world numbers you even posted the truth. Fact is now the 14 is only the third fastest bike out there. thats why there mad.
Third Fastest? You coming to the track on Sunday?
LOL, you know that vince is old and senile... If we're not there for a couple of weeks, 14's magically get slower.
Nothig magic about it I've watch Justins bike get slower and slower each time out it takes much less time to see him go down the track. I heard you ran 5's this sunday man whis I could have been there to watch. I was there saturday weather was hot and head winds were strong as u no what.
Did anyone record your runs. I knew you would do it. Just wish I could have been there.
Hay chad you sound like you've been caught by one of those hookers lol.

I see no advantage at all for this bike in Real Street, no matter who is riding it.
