I have been riding bikes for a while, and just never purchased my own due to my wife leaving me and sticking me with all our debt. All my friends have bikes and I finaly broke down and bought one. Of course needs to be the biggest baddest thing I can find......ZX-14.
And like everyone says, you have to respect the power. Two days after buying mine, I was zoomin down a road to show off, but went to stop and it was all slippery concrete. Couldnt slow down and managed to clip a fire hydrent and put the bolt that sticks out through my fairing first, then into my leg. Thirteen stitches later, I still walk, but havnt been able to bend leg yet to point of shifting. I ride it in second gear and stiff legged.
I have to do a lot of research on this bad boy, As I have no manual for it, and my first personaly owned bike. I also have to find a left fairing and the black peice that goes behind it...lol
