2009 Kawasaki Concours ZG-1400.

Bike Haulers... Pace Enclosed Bike trailer. Had to sell my truck though, '05 Dodge Ram SRT-10. (505ci Viper V-10, 501hp, 525 ft/lb torque). Loved the truck, just too expensive to operate as a daily driver. 8.9mpg in town & 12.8mpg interstate sucking down 93 octane Premium. (and insurance was outragous also). But, overall, I miss that truck!!!

I decided that the ZX-14 Ninja powered Concours14 was the new bike for me. With removable saddlebags,  electrically adjustable windshield, aluminum frame, variable cam timing, adjustable suspension, etc, this was the best all around bike for my purposes.

But, in my predictable ways...I had to start modifying it immediately. With Kawasaki making "Monster" edition Ninja ZX-14 & ZX-600, I made my own "Monster" C-14. Then added bar risers, gel grips, lowering links, Axio hard top tail pack, Throttlemeister black w/milled scallps bar ends trimmed off excess rear fender, black license plate frame, removed factory reflectors & labels/stickers. Performance bump with secondary butterflies removed, BMC Race air filter, Power Commander PC-V, Auto-Tune kit for PC-V (wide-band O2 sensor/controller), Muzzy's dual oval carbon cans full stainless steel exhaust system.
