Hold up a second, they make a red 14r? I haven't seen one in red yet.

Have been trying to find a suitable pic of Corbin's new saddlebags to match the 2012 14r in green SE. Saw the red and blue...but not a good pic of the green ones installed..
Does anyone have or know where I can download a few?

You want bags on a 14? Save yourself some time and get a Connie. Really, it will suit your needs much better.
not necessarily. I've ridden a C14 and it's a huge, cumbersome bike with a lot of weight up high. My 14 is set up for sport touring with the full monty engine, less weight and comfortable and hard luggage (top box for now).
Not sure why some think the only thing this bike is good for is drag racing. It makes a hell of a sport touring bike. And yes, I've already drug mine down the 1320 and now it pulls touring duty.
Open mindedness...it's a good thing...try it sometime.

I know what you're saying, horses for courses and all that. But the 14 was made to go fast, seems a shame to defeat the primary purpose of the bike with bloody great bags on it. For the record, I don't drag mine either, but take weekend trips with a tail bag strapped to the back seat. That's my idea of sport touring.

I agree, but it's either/or, not both. If memory serves, you didn't just put bags on your drag bike, which this guy seems to be doing.
At this point, I don't believe anything GUILEwingMann has to say.
On top of that, he slammed smokinZX14 for posting about being in the hospital.
He also asks for advice and then disregards everything we have to say.
He's a troll, pure and simple.
It's way deeper than putting bags on a 14.

Would it not be interesting to see a ZX14r sporting saddlebags and a tail bag best a Busa on the track?

Flexibility is the name of the game, why would a guy who rides a motorcycle want a bunch of junk strapped on his back?
Have a wing, and C-14 now, great Corbin bags still let you ride 186 mph...how much faster do you need to go....duh?
Some people have NO imagination....or flexibility....

LOL Greyhound.
I haven't dragged my bike yet either, but it does have some drag racing style mods. Granted they were all done before I bought the bike. I do however, have a set of soft bags that I can throw on the back, and I intend to get some use out of them this summer. I can do 120 and they don't move at all. That's good enough for me.
