C-14 for sale
Thanks. I'm experimenting with taller windscreens that really cut down on the noise. Since I wear glasses, full face(quiet) helmets are a real pain. I also have a garage full of bikes and would like to get my shop space back..

Is it sold yet?
I may be interested in your bike, if it is not sold yet. Is it an abs?
Thanks

Hi. No, I couldn't find any ABS models. For what It's worth I had a near miss with an ambulance running a red light and I probably braked harder than I ever have. The front tire howled and I stopped in an amazingly short distance. I have never seen brakes as good as these. I now feel completely different about ABS. It would be nice to have but I've never had it and now feel like it's unnecessary. my C-14 has a Fiamm after market horn, and the handle bars raised 1-1/8" with riser blocks. As I said, I'm 66 and NOT a hotrodder. I probably haven't used 30% of the engine's ability, It's like new, just already broken in properly. You could probably save a little on TX sales tax by buying used.
I just sold my Honda ST1100 to a guy in Houston.
