Go ride one before you judge what it is good for. It handles better than my 12 did.

It does handle good, I also have a ZX14, so bought it for what it was made for. You can beat that price. Got mine 12700 that included tax title and license OTD. Depending on how you are wired, this thing could do it all for you, its performance and handling are good enough to satisfy the sport bike rider in you with a few tweaks, and when called for more serious duty can haul your ass across the country in style. Me? Ill keep both.

After your test ride, you'll have a hard time not buying one. It is everything that people say it is -- and much much more.

After a test ride I HAD to have one. Got me one of them supersize Ultra Tour Domed windscreens and if only I can con the wife into some warm clothing, we'll see how well it works for her. She HATED the buffeting of the stocker . . . once she's happy with that, I can add the PC3 and an Area P pipe.

I like the looks of this color. I weened myself from black after a few black bikes and the final straw is my Chevy Silverado SS. Black is a major PIA to keep clean and nice. Fucking swirl marks drive me crazy.

....its a gentlemean's racer, yes?...the car analogy for me is the C-6 Corvette.....sure, there are other lighter sportcars out there that are more tossable,ie. Porsche Cayman, but in the right hands, the Vette can hold its one on the same venue...and be more comfortable fro some, right TedG?
