Welcome.

You said 14R... You said Ninja...

I'll be riding a de-restricted piped 2015 14R with stock SA and ride height right after the Rally leaves.

Since you own both steeds I have a burning question. Of these two bikes, how do they compare with regards to ease of moving them around the shop or parking lots. How does legroom compare? Are you lowered or stock ride height?

My knees have reached a point where the VMX is too low and heavy for comfort. The 14R is at the VERY TOP of my list for all the obvious reasons. My 2nd choice is a toss between an S1K and GSXR1K to get the weight closer to 400lbs and whp:lb ratio closer to 1:2 but I really want to cash in on the monster torque of the 1441 if at all possible. If I had more space I would have the same two bikes you have, in all likelyhood.

Sorry to jump on you just as you step through the door, but I've been thinking a whole lot about this exact thing for some time now.
