    Question Anyone willing to let me try out a zx14, 12r or ninja 1k around Chelmsford tyngsboro?

    The end of the season at least the sales season is going to be here in a few months and I am debating trying to find a deal on a ninja 1k or zx14. I took one of my buddies' blackbird for a spin a couple weeks ago and got bit pretty hard by the comfortable more tourquey Sportbike bug. I may just try to make my 09 zx6 more comfy but the endgame at some point is to move to one of those two bikes, a blackbird if I can find a decent one, or something similar.

    My problem is I have never ridden either a ninja 1k, zx12, or zx14 so I'm not sure if I will even like the way they move handle etc. Is there anyone around her that is willing to let me take a scoot on their bike? Even if it is just around a parking lot I just want to get some idea how they move.

    Ninja 1K about as comfortable as your 6 or do you mean the sit up right ninja 1K? Many people set up 'busa's and 14's to tour.

    I just actually upgraded from an 09 Zx-6r to a 14 ninja 1000 and wouldn't look back. Dont get me wrong i loved my zx6 but the ergo's are only friendly for so long. I got a good deal on a left-over fully loaded ninja 1000 with hard bags.

    Pro's
    -Good price compared to competition
    -Mid Range torque is amazing
    -Ergo's are pretty comfy
    -LOVE the hard bags

    Con's
    -Is a good bit heavier then a 600 but you get used to it
    -Stock seat sucked
    -stock windshield also left a lot to be desired

    If you're ever around central mass let me know i'd let you spin it around the block

    Edited to include zx12 as a contender.

    If you ride a ZX-12, it will change everything. Seriously. Drop the forks 12mm and you'll understand.
