What's with all the out of context "catch phrases" in all your posts?



some people don't have much imagination..... using other well known phrases makes it easier....   Lol

I have a 2011 C14 and use it for touring, the bike is awesome. I had a 2006 Wing, it was a great ride but I wanted to get a bike that was had better handling and a weighed a whole lot less. The C-14 fits my needs and I don't need more power, what I need is cruise control and maybe a heated seat for the cool mornings on the west coast.

I can see the OP's point.  I'd for the ZX motor.  Fuel economy would come with maps and a retune (I hate the word detune - you're not losing power - your shift it to make it more useable).  Tooling costs might be a wash as they are already set up to make the motors for the ZX's... just different cams and new maps on the ZX's ECU.

I don't know all the ins and outs, but seems like a easy choice.

That being said, I don't care that much either way - I still want one.
