ZX-14R whaat?

[Allan S]

Anybody who started with 2 strokes - already knows.
Ahhh, memories of my RD350 and 250 nuttin like a 2 stroke comin on the pipes!

Wish I would've kept my 1972 Kawa H2 750 two stroke triple. Stupid bike but super fun.

I don't think the GTR is a "wonder bike" either but neither is the Rocket from personal experience and reading the plenitude of problems on this forum it is not always a well assembled machine, a stock GTR will out corner/accelerate and out top end the stock Rocket, no need to fiddle to get it faster and as for reliability it is a typical Japanese assembled reliable machine, each to his own I still ride my old Touring and have ridden several roadsters in various stages of "fiddling" but personally prefer the GTR it's just a nice ride ,others can disagree, also I am no boy racer so racing other riders does not become a factor in my choice of bike

YOUR just a GTR owner and I dont like riding them at all as they have no potential unlike the Rocket that is so restricted from the factory and is in such a mild state of tune and is a real monster when its modded and the king of all the cruisers that will crush even the fastest sport bikes and is still a comfy all day everyday rider that you can ride anywhere with your honey on the back with the rest of the cruiser crowd

THAT bike is a 1969 500cc KAW H1 triple not the 750

WOW! you don't even know me and you make that judgement , well I am still waiting for the result of your Veyron V Rocket race you spoke of some time ago ,almost any machine can be made to go harder and faster but the base line is out of the factory a Rocket is not that much better than most of the sports bikes and a slug compared to some of the super bikes straight of the showroom floor,
anyhow this is developing into a boring Pissing competition I am only on this Forum to express my opinions on Motorcycles and in life general so I will refrain from further comment rather than continue this futile posting

I do know you we discussed this before its fine that you like your kaw 1400 but I dont like riding them I enjoy the Rocket for myself I actually own over 50 bikes so I have plenty of choices avaiable if I get bored I like the ZX1400 its would be my choice for a sport bike if I wanted one BUT Im having fun with the Rockets for now so the pissing contests will go on forever its called competition and is fun and makes it interesting I love taking the Rockets and retuning them to whip the hell out of the SPORT BIKES its a real blast

Speaking of fast Rockets Art. How about an update on the Streamliner. I did not see it come out this year for record attempts or practice.

YEP and a nice pic of that bike I was a KAW dealer and sold a lot of those and i had the 1/4 m drag race National record with one of those 11.98 @ 111 mph pretty snappy for a little 500cc bike
