14R performance
10/04/13 5:34 PM

Well...I changed out the headers today...installed fresh plugs...new rear sprocket and front as well.She's got the C Blast flash in her.I didn't have any idea what she would run like...but this bird has definitely woken up.I thought she was strong and all before.OMG...wheelies at will...1st,2nd...easy peasy.Geez.

This side of this machine is hidden with the factory configuration.I'm in shock really.I know it sounds juvenile and all...but this bike has transformed into something I never thought possible.Honestly.I won't go on about it...but I have to say...she runs in every RPM range and gear smooth as glass...and the power and throttle are SO strong.I'm at 3000 feet elevation.....and she's running like this.Just amazing...almost...scarey amazing.I'm gonna have to be careful...this bird's a fricken firebreather for sure.I can see why Wolf wanted to stretch his....I'm not gonna...I love mine as is...but I can see why....SHEEESH....This is a truly amazing motorcycle....

Hub mentioned once...he wanted to see(hear about)wheelspin in a wheelie.I didn't think it was possible.I can assure you...it does(KTRC 'off').Caught me quite by surprise...but she does....LOL!!!!!! The passing and downshifting performance of this bird is mind bending....totally kickazz.Had NO idea there was such a personality under that factory clothing.Kawasaki nailed this package to the bone;)The power delivery is so controllable...yet so damn strong....she lifts...and just when ya think she's leveling out some....this whole extra kick comes in....she just wants to take flight....God this bird is exteme;)Totally.

Wheel, I finally tried a little better wheel spin and kept on it. Seems the interV is so steady, and quick at the same time, it took a second or less, then like I said, there was enough time to WOT the throttle and know this was in lockup mode until the wheel caught up with the front.

So it was more a moot point to give it any more throttle. It was going to stay in that low rpm cut/chop until the windows met again.

Wallop, it happened again. Maybe I'm up to three? One escapes me, the other was getting a ticket and asked the cop if he saw the car move over on me to take my spot... he said, no. So one too many tickets, the penalty the insurance co. clocked me for a few years, I hang in the slow lane running the speed limit. I'm coming up on a car and we sort of hung for a few. Now, I'm not about to travel that close or that long-being too near the hardware either way. I'll gas it and have a clear surrounding.

Something told me to get away from this one. So as I began to ease away, sure enough, the car comes in my lane. No winker on of course. Without batting an eye, I could see the side door inching closer as I countered with the ease of the bar. With a quick look back in the mirror I could just see how close I was to the front bumper.

The last thing I want to do is turn around and flip them off. I more live for the action so why bother. I just can't get over how this thing doesn't give the car a chance to rub some paint and game it up. That's the motherfuck'inn bike I'm on.

Thank you mother tea one more time.
