For any big guy considering a sport bike I have to say the zx-14 is now my favorite bike. I have been riding motorcycles since 6 and street bikes since 16. For an all around bike there is just nothing I have been on that compares for rides under 6 hours and preferably under 4. Comfort, handling, weight, reliability and balls to the wall speed will make this my go to bike until I find something better. Put 9k miles on that bad boy last year alone. I did coastal Woodside to SF Financial district in 50 minutes today. What an amazing piece of machinery.

So I rode the Suzuki..that bastard was huge but my knees were shoved up high and I felt like I had to hunch over..The Salesman hoped on it and seemed like it fit him good..He was probably 5'10 or 6'..then I went down the road and rode a few different Victory's..loved them..road the Hardball, Crossroads and Cross Country..they all have the same frame and are bagger bikes..loved how they felt and rode..then went to Harley..rode a Fat Boy and it was nice..didn't feel quite right but it rode good..rode a Street Glide and enjoyed it a lot..The rode a Heritage Softail Classic I believe was what he called it..I enjoyed it a lot but didn't fit quite right could get used to it..so at the end of all of it I came to the conclusion that I need to be rich so I could just buy them all..**** me

so as much as I liked the layout/view from the seat.....the fixed fairing kills me. I'm not quite sure why HD would have two such similar models. Not sure what the difference is between the two other than the fairing etc. |

The Concours is kick ASS. that bike will do it all and then some. TONS of power (I think they used a tamed down version of the ZX14 motor...I 'think'). They'll cruise all day; you can fling them into corners with full confidence. |
There are tons of black bikes. I think one big reason for that is that black is the cheapest. I know my bike with the color scheme was about an extra $800.

Rawhide bike night is Thursday. I might have gone over there last night if we didn't already have plans to ride to Hutchinson to enjoy some March madness with Mr plow and ceej. The ride back tomorrow might be a little chilly.

Good point; I didn't think of that. On my 72 it only came in 3 'base' colors I think. all others were the $800 upgrade for the candy. so the Street Glide color scheme you mentioned is probably spot on. |
