ZX14=Sport touring IMO. It's kinda big to make a good track bike. But many articles I've read have people considering it a sport touring bike because of it's good comfort and ergonomics.

I have been toying around with the idea of selling off the KZ750, and picking up a 14 by next spring if I can find reasonable enough insurance premiums on it. I want something large enough to be comfortable taking a long trip on, and many say this bike is great for that purpose. Insurance costs by far will be the largest factor as to whether or not I get one.

The ZX14 is more of a sport than touring. I own one! Based on the sitting position I don't think is very comfortabel on long tours. It is not the lightest bike either, but when it's moving, it's not bad at all. I own one, but the straight highways in ND are boring for relaxed rides. They are good for speeding though.

Haha! How interesting! I never sat on your bike. Touring on these bikes must be fast enough for the wind to support your body weight.

White looks nice. But the Lilo and Stitch movie my kids watch over and over and over reminds me of that one bug hmm. The one with multiple eyes. hahaha

It does look kind of like a spider.

Actually, the more I ride it, the better it feels. I don't think I'm as cramped as I would be on an R1.
