sooooo, the $64,000 question (or should i say 1.3 million?) is

"Will the ZX-14 take the Veyron on the street?"

looking forward to a full reivew later :) thanks RC

[corpse_grinder0]

glad he at least got the right color... cant say the same for Ed's R1:P but I think they both make about the same power.

[RAMMIUS]

.....and it looks like pure shit :D


"Will the ZX-14 take the Veyron on the street?"


Yeah good question , throw in an F/A-18 E, let`s see what`s faster :roll:

[TNT]

^^^ top gear is getting an e-mail

that would be awesome.

[taygunho]

THanks for pics RC. It looks good on that colour. Honestly I don't like this kind bikes but CBR 1100 XX blackbird looks better than that.

[RAMMIUS]

^^^ In looks department there`s no competition :P

I found a pic of RC's friend :wink:

that dude's got balls. :lol:

[dingo]

Yeah the looks aren't the best (would prefer an R1) - but who cares when it goes like that! :shock:

[sameerrao]

That guy drives very well - smooth lines, no unnecessary handle bar movement. Last time we could see that he was sort of cooped up going along with us in slow cars (apart from Z06 which could atleast compete). He is going to be even more disappointed this time. :lol:

[No.1]

Looks schweet :good:

But im not that clued up on bikes, and like Dani, the Ducatti is much nicer to look at (but i like the 999)

[Minacious]

Yeah, those things are starting to pop up over here too. I'm not at all a fan of the styling, but I’m not really a fan of any of the current sport touring bikes. The headlights on that thing make me think of an alien bug. I’ve asked a few owners how they like it, but they can never give me an answer stating they just got it and don’t have enough seat time to give an honest appraisal. I wonder what Suzuki’s new Hayabusa is going to be putting down to reclaim its throne? My bike is putting down about the same horsepower to the wheels as the ZX, but it sure as hell wasn’t doing it stock. I’m curious what the difference would be in a race since my bike is so much lighter. I’ll probably never know.

:P

Cool bike. I was checking one out earlier today. A guy i deliver stuff to bought one, in green. I think it's pretty damn cool. I'm no bik expert, all he told me was that it's unbelievably fast. LOL

[ZfrkS62]

I kind of like the styling :D

I don't know when you're planning the next fun run, but i don't think i'm going to be able to make it. I'm thinking my days in the south are numbered.

How long till you leave?

Don't know for sure. I'll be going back to Seattle though and i need to get up there before Grant's Pass, OR gets iced over. Driving a U-Haul in rain is bad enough, i don't want to try and deal with ice :? So i think early November would be the latest.

[RC45]

So i think early November would be the latest.

Uhm - we will be getting together way before then :P

depending on the attitude of my environment though i may not make it through the summer :wink: But, if i do make it to one final run, i think i will be riding with Sameer this time so that i can be up with the action. As well as the Yoda did, I was a bit disappointed at how far back i was from the group.

[saadie]

like dani said ... its too ugly .. :? ..... but the performance is cool ..
i rather have a ducatti ...
this one specifically .... :P

748 :drool:

[RC45]

^^^ Obviously not a sport bike rider ;) :P the 748 is pig heavy and dog slow - slower than a 600 - but great posing at starbucks.

[saadie]

oh poop RC ..... it old ... but looks great .. :P

i'd love to see you posing in front of starbucks haha ....

[RC45]

^^ heheh - Oh I pose.. ;) - I just try not to get caught doing it :P ;)
