LOL I still think ya'll all cracking up.  I've got nearly 55K miles across 2 different ZX-14s (40K on my '06, nearly 14K on my '08) and after a 100 mile ride on a buddies Connie 14, on what passes for twisties here in Chicagoland, on roads I've ridden before, set up for a rider nearly my size, I STILL don't think that's possible.  I can hustle the ZX much faster than I can the C-14.   Shrug  Maybe it's just me and I'm just very used to my bike.  I STILL want a C-14 when the body says no to 1000 mile days on the ZX at some point in the future.

My body finally said no, hence the C14. I can use all of the C14's power most of the time, unlike the ZX14 where you have to be a little more prudent.
I still miss the ZX14 but the added comfort of the C14, shaftdrive, power windscreen, ect., have me spoiled. Bigok

3 she eats rubber(I'll be putting the fourth set on this weekend)
...
My odometer hit 34,000 this past weekend!
Three sets of tires and 34K miles?  You call that 'eating rubber'?  That's over 11K per set.

The traction control works extremely well on the 2010's.  The only way to no you've engaged it is when the dash says it's working.  Drive down a gravel road and hit the gas.  You speed up with no slipping at all.  I've yet to have it engage on dry pavement.
