This thing is gonna be a REAL CHALLENGE to work on.Anyone thinking this is the 'same ole bike pumped up' is nutso!Sheesh....

glad then the only work i will be doing is...

gas up
lube chain pj1 blue label
oil changes rottela oil
check air pressure

But is fun to mod ... but rather be out riding !!

195 hp... im going to need a runway as it is. lol

Runway is optional methinks...if you're referring to braking ability that is.This baby stops....I'll just say...very nicely

good morning grn14... getting the itch to take the yama by a dealer for trade offer... its going to hit 45 degees in upstate ny thursday.

we have no snow yet..but they said maybe a little by christmas....wil be storing the bike very soon.

if you trade before dec 31st... you get a extra 500 bucks from kawaski for your trade.

not in big hurry cause im coming from a 600 so i want to see how big the bike feels... and get a good feel for things seating on one... busa was 99 so been awhile... most dealers don,t have one to look at until mid late jan.

Well Mark...MY opinion is....GET the new 14r.If you're going to get a big sportbike like the 14...you may as well get the latest model and enjoy!You will NOT be disappointed.Honestly.I think getting the big Ninja is a good move for someone coming from an already kick azz bike...your Yammi.You aren't some new guy learning to ride.You already KNOW how to be 'careful'.The bigger bike is gonna really feel awesome to ya I think.Afterall...YOU'RE the pilot.It's not gonna go KooKoo on ya on it's own

yes the powerband on the busa was awesome...just pulled forever with no effort.

never purchased a bike for over 10 grand before.

r1 9200 sold 11400
bus 9200 sold 9800

those are the only 2 bikes i have every owned... where i sold them for more then i payed for them.

Wait till ya feel the powerband on this bad girl.You think your Busa pulled.... And I haven't even 'gotten on it'yet .

"lube chain pj1 blue label"...you might just want to try the Maxima Chain Wax....NO FLING AT ALL if you follow the directions.Best stuff I ever used.Hands down.(when I say'no fling',I mean..NO FLING).Sweet!

Get the 14R....yer gonna LOVE this machine!

+1 on the wax. Good stuff and easy clean up. I'm not a fan of PJ1, it's like thick spray glue..

im working on it... still waiting to see one in person.

hope the stock market keeps going up . that would help.
