ZX14, R1200GS or 2011/12 ZX10R
« on: December 30, 2011, 04:53:04 AM »
The wife wants to pillion all of a sudden. She hates to be on the back of my D6F 10. What should I do??? She doesn't mind the 14 or the GS. Nice comfy seat for her she says. Should I trade her (wife) in???? :lol: On a more serious note....What do you fellas reckon????

If you're doing any serious miles with a pillion then its gotta be the ZX14. Not a shadow of a doubt from the choices you gave.
Rode a couple and they are remarkably good!
Get yourself a test ride (or trade the missus in for a newer model  :tongue3: )

If you do end up with a 14 it might be a good idea if you let us test ride her....Make sure you got a bargain  [clap]

Just a thought  [naughty]

Had a go on the green 14 with the cans. Wow! Makes riding fast easy. It has 32k's on the clock so she's well loose. Only thing is she's having the dreaded leaking valve cover leak on the left side. Will post pics soon.

They probably didn't bother to replace the Gaskets at 26,250 when the Valve clearances needed to be checked/adjusted.

I did France ,Belgiun,Germany and Luxemburg including the ring two up with the wife last year on my 2011 ZX10R.


And we live up in Cumbria so it was a haul just to the crossing, it depends what sort of bike you want when not touring which would you like in your garage????

Go for the ZX14, the pillions tend to get bad wind blast on a GS1200 unless you're a fat fucker.  :-P
