Kawi ZX-14 Riding Review

I had it for about a week now and on my 2nd tank of fuel. First the bike does not feel as big as I thought it would be (which I worried most). It is a much more refined and civilized bike than its replacement 12-R. It is rock solid stable at highway speeds and the power band is very predictable with tons of torque starting right bottom from the idle. I can cruise at 45 mph 6th gear at 2000 rpm and there is no hint of bogging at all. Splitting lanes in on I-5 freeway in So Cal is no problem - it is that nimble. It is almost a perfect commuter for me (80 miles a day), except it gets only around 35~38 mpg so far and has 5.8 gal tank (I think). This is the first bike I've ever ridden with the fuel economy computer on the dashmeter.

If I find anything interesting more, I will up date later.
