Looking at a low mileage 2009 ZX14 owned by a motorcycle mechanic. Anyone love them or hate them?.

Haven't rode one yet. But I'd love to! I know the speedo tops out at 185 mph but the machine is much faster.

Love it, nice smooth powerband, pulls in all gears, I’m 6-4 and it is comfortable minus the handlebars being so low but the one I rode may have been modified.
My buddy has one, lots of UMPH when I rode it. More "sporty" vs "sport touring" for both overall feel as well as crouched riding position. Hard bags will set you back a few pennies if it doesn't already have them. No Pan weave though and a higher top speed.
My buddy had one, and he also had a Hyabusa. I got to ride both, and I'd take the ZX14 hands down. Better riding position so it was more comfortable. Man that thing will flatten your eyeballs though!
Well I just bought it!. It feels like a feather compared to the ST. The ZX owner (a small guy) couldn’t get my ST off the side stand!. Pick it up on Thursday. Pics to follow.
The bike or the mechanic? Congrats on your new ride!
