The thrust from that zx14 must be insane! Never rode one but had a 2004 FJR and that used to blow my mind when i would wind it up
Lost my old MV Agusta Brutale when I traded it in on my new FE 501. Then I bought a little Yamaha and rode that around for several months.... but last Friday, I couldn't resist buying a leftover 2017 MV Agusta Brutale Dragster RR, and there wasn't enough room in the garage, so the R3 had to go.
Looks great and much better than the R3 DD. I couldn't take the forward leaning riding position anymore getting older and back was not liking it soooooo after a lot of research pulled the trigger on this about 10 months ago. I know it's a ktm but one of the most enjoyable powerful bikes I've owned
Finally got away for a quick 2 days and 504 miles to Monterey and back the following day. 54-60 riding temps both days was perfect. Went up Sunday so could come back south along the coast with less traffic early monday.
And another ..... he’s got a few in the stable ... I’ll put some more up when I get a chance .... : )
Ah no I don’t .... I had a XS Yamaha 1100 Special back in the day did the same thing as the Kawasaki guys were doing .. everyone had to have a 4 into 1 pipe ... I do have pics somewhere of it .... it was a fun fast ride !!!
Your story of back in the day and this sequence of pictures brings back awesome memories. I went to tech school in Denver in 75 and they had a 73 900 that we learned on. Never got to ride it! Went to work in a Kawi dealership in Dodge City, Kansas. Was the only mechanic. Customers would bring the 900's in and I would go over them from spokes to valves. Of course I had to RIDE them!!! weee heee was 18 and rode all those new Kawasaki's. In 78 they gave me a Yamaha shop in Garden City Ks to run. OMG the first year of the XS 1100! What a BEAST, what a time in my life. I had every 1978 Yamaha at my finger tips, I rode them all as fast as they would go. Thanks for the memories!
When possible we take 2 bikes on our adventures. We were in Santa Fe NM this last weekend. My wife likes the Spyder
