Hmmmmmm,,,, I wonder if its gong to be the 8 or 10 cylinder version. GLWS sir & enjoy when the new whip arrives.

I took the big girl out for a spin yesterday. About 35-40 miles. It's been 4.5 months since I've ridden it and I was easy on the throttle but one time when I gave it about 75% twist up to 8,500 rpm. Holy shineola,,,,, I forgot how strongly this thing pulls. So, it's still for sale and I'm in no rush to dump it or let it go for less than I'm asking. It's a lotta' fun for sure.

Shipping companys make everything closer. BTW,,,, the mileage is 9560 as of this last weekend.

Just putting out a little feeler on my 08' ZX-14. It's atomic silver, has just under 10K miles and comes with the following mods. 2 owner bike that I have had for just shy of 5 years. Clear title and clean overall. The bike dyno'd 183hp/112 tq when originally mapped. Debadged Hindle / Brocks full exhaust ( stainless steel / Titanium) Mapped PCIII Dynojet Quick shifter 3 position lowering link Brocks front caliper brackets & strap. PAIR system eliminated BMC race filter Standard profile smoked wind screen DDM 55W X 4 HID's 5K temp on high and low beams Lanyard killswitch with billet bracket and aux rockerswitch LED's in both front and rear turn signals Pit bull rear stand & no name front stand Rear fender eliminator Shorai lithium-ion full size battery less than 1 year old. Frame sliders GenMar 1" risers 16/40 gearing (17/41 stock and those come with the bike) Repsol full synthetic oil used since 2600 miles old. Pilot Road II tires, front 70% left, rear about 30% left. Antifreeze replaced last year with water wetter added. Full factory exhaust included like new as is rear fender and belly pan and stock screen. The only real flaw I can think of is a small stress crack on the upper fairing between the right side headlight and windscreen. The crack doen't extend fully to either, it just sits kinda in the middle. It's been this way for 4+ years and has not gotten any worse. There are a couple of little chips on the front fender as well. I will email new pics apon request. The reason for selling is simply that I just don't hardly ride anymore. The last time the bike was out was 9/28/13. I'm in no rush to sell this great bike, but if someone was interested in it who could give it a better home, who knows. $6800-

Damm. I need new gear, but the sizes don't jive. The pants might work (they are a little large) but the boots are a whole size too small. Let me know if you can't move the pants, I may be interested. Hit me with an email (beondwacko@yahoo).

I'm thinking along different lines here. A little out of left field but, any chance the motor is hydro locked ? Also, when you go to crank it, do all electrics go out while trying to crank? Lastly, is the "clunk" a heavy sounding very metallic dealeo or more of a "click" sound? I'm wondering about the starter relay and then the starter solenoid.

Was the dead raccoon to be sold too or am I late on that one! Good luck with the sale(s).

I'd be all over this if only I had the space. Best of luck with the sale. I wish I could buy it.

Hey Hank, Any ZX-14 parts? Looking for a double bubble Puig brand screen, shortened side stand.

It looks like he only put about 9K miles on it in 4+ years. He also put the stock exhaust back on, changed the gearing, put a gear indicator on, changed the wind screen, put mirror extenders on, but he forgot to mention that the fork springs had been changed to 1KG progressive and the oil weight had been changed too. At that price, it's decent but there are a couple of flaws(cosmetic) that I saw. The rear cowling has a crack in it from him, and that was all I could see from the pics. That bike ran GREAT and I miss it a little bit now and then. BTW, that bike orig' came from Long Island.

Well I can tell you this, His name is Mike, and he lives in Helena Montana. He's very tall and skinny like 6'4" & 160 lbs. He's got or he had some health issues, and this was his first motorcycle. I doubt he ever made it to Nexxt. He was initially very active on the .com forum, but almost nothing here.

I wonder if that's my old bike. It did get shipped out there. I just looked at that Craigslist ad and WHOLY SHIT !!!! That's my old bike!!!!!! I'd jump on that one.

Dave, Is that the"new" WRX that you are shopping for?

Joe, What solution did you come to?

This is going to sound funny, but why not something LED? They don't care about a/c - d/c current, they don't draw much current, handle vibration well. Find a housing that takes a MR-16 lamp that supports the lamp by the head of it and not the socket, then drop $20 at homo depot for one of their own brand 4 watt LED MR-16 lamps. They kick out 295 lumens at about 3K kelvin. Good bulb. There are many other LED MR-16's out there too that produce a good punch of light as well but the challenge will be to find a suitable housing. If you are creative, you can make your own housing too. just an idea.

I too have waited over 6 years, followed up on the rumors, waited some more, then sold my 01' and bought an 08' ZX14 modded exactly how I wanted it that was just under 1 year old. I had sellers remorse until I got the new bike. I had thought for sure that the new owner of my bike was going to total it(first bike) but after 1.5 yrs of ownership, he was still ok. Anyway, Honda, if they were to build a hyperbike along the lines of the XX, would have a lot of trouble in current times economically, to sell it. They always price their bikes at a premium. Yes they have the technology to create an XX that is competitive with the new 14 or even the Busa' but they are FAR TOO CONSERVATIVE as a corporation to build what they view as a niche bike. The new interceptor is a good example of this. Fantastic engineering and fit and finish but what market is it built for? Not an XX replacement, not to go up against the other 2 hyperbikes, more or less it's up against the new C14. But once again, look at the price. The new V-Max is also a fine example of how pricing and marketing are working against a niche vehicle. $20k for a ripping' hot rod cruiser is nuts. It should be priced in the high14's. Just my $.03

Maybe not what you would to hear, but I'd buy the puig screen if it were the DB version. Good luck with the sale.

That bike looks so clean,,,,,, I'd have to mount it on a wall. I wonder how many beers were consumed over the many hours it must have taken to construct that testament to the 01' XX.

Just a quick suggestion on how to make the bike "feel" a little lighter on it's feet. 1. Genmar handle bar risers. 2. Front fork re-do. New springs and oil. 3. 6mm rear end shim. 4. Tires that aren't worn the hell out and flattened in the center. All of these things will make the bike feel lighter once you start rolling and the difference will be substantial.

What zip code is Hell? I need to check the weather down there....................see if it's raining something odd.

There's a car with loads of potential. Get rid of them drum brakes 1st thing!!! Good luck with the sale.

It's a pretty strong runner. The supercharger is an unusual set up. The unit basically uses a turbocharger housing and impeller, but it's driven via a planetary roller set that serves as a transmission and makes the impeller rotate at a much faster rate than if it were directly driven. It also has it's own oil cooler. Neat stuff. Im confused over your description. Is the blower driven via a belt and pulley system? Yes, the blower is belt driven. The pulley size had been slightly reduced to produce about 7.5 psi of boost.

Bump. Dad still has the car & the price of $9K is a STEAL for this car. Spread the word !!!!!!
