Can I ask why you are selling? You have put so much time and money into her.

It hasn't always been my opinion.But the longer I have my 14 the more I feel that it does not really make a super great touring bike.It's to me a wonderful fast,powerful carving road burner.But to ride all day and have the 'comfort' of say,a Harley...nope.It just doesn't IMO.I love my bike....as far as I can see,I won't get rid of er.I wanted a big sportbike.And it fills that bill for me perfectly.I'm too old to go for a 10 or smaller.And a full on touring bike just wouldn't do it for me.Sorry Privateer to hear you are selling yours.I'm in no way suggesting you 'don't like it' or anything like that.You've put a bunch of lovingcare into her....she's a way cool bike.Hope you get what your asking for her.

There was a thread a while back about whether getting a 14 for riding at legal speeds was really worth it.Back then,I said..'well,yeah'.Today,I'd have to kinda switch up my opinion.If you're just gonna ride legal and never go faster or more agressively,then,no....it would be a waste of potential IMO.It's supposed to be a rocket.That's what it is IMO.But I'll say,cruising with my bike at less than legal speeds has actually opened my eyes to another side of this bike that I had'nt really spent much time looking at while riding.It's actually very nice to throttle back and just 60ish around out there on those open roads.But of course,the need for carving and power ALWAYS get me...and it's there always.

Hopefully someone on these forums will pick it up so we can still see it and know its being taken care of. Good luck with the sale!

Sad day indeed! Sorry to hear you're selling the 14. Great looking bike and lost and lots of extras. Someone will get a great modified bike.

Sorry to hear you are selling out, no I mean selling ur bike LOL. You had mentioned a while back the situation with the VA and it's great that things appear to be working out. You put together a great bike and hope you still plan to see the country on 2's......

Hey Priv,

Sad to hear you are parting with the 14. You could easily make 10k parting the aftermarkets and then selling the bike. I would love to take that exhaust of your off of your hands.

Looking like it goes on eBay. I have no doubt it will sell, even if I specify I will not ship. There are even folks who will buy it to part it out, and if I get to the point of putting it on eBay, so be it.
