the newly returned guy has sense enough not to reply to his post; why do the vets here not do the same? "a buddy of mine told me" that statement has bs written all over it. anyone could see that.

Dont for get if you want good gas mileage the busa will get you 40+ if left stock this way you can still work as far away as you want and get as good of mileage as the VFR.

Welcome back .. if it were me i'd get a C14 .. Steve has tons and tons of miles on his with nothing but tires and oil changes .. Great bike ...
WB hi-mile.
I have >67,000 miles on the 2010 Concours14, not a SINGLE ISSUE. It almost scares me. Not even an idle or throttle cable adjustment.
Tires, and brake pads, lots of Rotella T6. It wouldn't eat tires and brakes if I would be a little easier on it and baby it like a sport tourer should be.
Its railed the Rockies, Adirondacks, Catskills Appalachians. been all over the desert in 116 degree heat (Cali, AZ, NV, Utah, TX). Been in arctic winter temps.
Its been to canada, and took me from Florida to maine a few months ago when I had the urge for lobster rolls.
This C14 is incredible.

Well my deal may be gone soon because I have someone else interested so if he doesn't reply to me soon, then it will be his lost opportunity.

Hi All,
Man I've been very busy at work and I'm replying with 10 min before I enter the rat Race. Weighmaster I thought I replied but I'm not as technical as I could be I screwed it up again.
Steve Great to hear from you, man your putting me to shame mile wise. That C14 the BMW had was gone, and at that price how could I go wrong.
MPG is not really a big deal but I thought I remember reading that the new bike is better.
I'll try to get back with to the blog tonight.
Thanks for all the replies.
Rob

Well here we are a week later and because I'm refinancing of my home I'm pretty much in a hold pattern.
Maybe it is for the better, I'm really beginning to prefer the 2012 ZX-14R. For those who have owned both I've heard the new bike is smoother and better MPG, I also like the idea of traction control and the select button being on the handle bar.
Thanks for the advice Rob

I don't know if it's any smoother or gets better gas mileage than my gen1's but it's a new generation zx14 and it's a bad boy!
