ZX14 Beast is back to the fray
04/21/16 10:18 AM

Everytime I sell, I keep coming back.....
This is a pristine example - like showroom condition only better.
Now my Diavel has a play mate...

Well let's see the Diavel too!

I really wanna test ride one of those. I saw ... and heard ... two of them go rumbling by last weekend. Awesome sound.

Hold the phone...

I've seen pics of that scooter. The owner gets hard for elevators, loves beer, and says things like, "Have a beer, eh!? Where's yer tear-bo, ya bender!?"

He had a Die-a-vel too...

Nah, I wish boys... this isn't Rick's turbo bike.
This is N/A with 4000 kms on the odo.
It's as flawless as flawless can be. It has some very cool custom touches that no one else will have thanks to the previous owner. Attention to detail to say the least.
I'll post more pics once I get her home tomorrow, and thanks for the compliments

I test-rode a Diavel a couple of years ago. Didn't get a chance to do any twisties, but I liked the motor and brakes. Low-speed handling seemed kinda heavy, especially at parking-lot speeds where you have to steer it like a 3-wheeler due to the huge rear tire. The ZX-14, which is 50 lbs heavier, felt 50 lbs lighter by comparison.

That titanium-and-black, BTW, looks mighty good.

Actually, I don't find the Duc heavy at all. Mind you I've only logged 400kms on the odo.
It's over at Hindle Exhaust company right now getting a custom pipe put on. I always like Hindle's products and sound so if I get a new ride I usually seek them out. The exhaust once completed is getting ceramic coated black. It should look and sound pretty slick. When my Duc is ready I'll take the 14 over and get them both dyno'd at the same time to see where they are at. Having an exhaust manufacturer in your back yard sure is nice...

zx14beast - Did you sell the bike in your avatar? How long ago? Isn't that a 2015?

If that's all correct, boy you do go thru 'em quick!

Wow ! Talk About Clean. Very Impressive. Brings back lots of memories. See Pic


Everytime I sell, I keep coming back....

Currently there is no better bike out there in my opinion. We are a very select crowd. This bike just fits so many roles for many different riders. Knew you B back lol.

Nah, I wish boys... this isn't Rick's turbo bike.

No it's Not,,,,, but it could be ? Nice small Billet wheel Turbo could be nice ? Drop off at Lake X. Give me a week. Sleeper Bike will emerge

Started With This

Turbo Shortly After

God you know how to empty my wallet.... I'm thinking it's time to get back on a boosted stock compression 14 with stock wheelbase and 260-280 ponies.... This could be our summer project Rick...

And yeah extrapolator... that was a 2015 with Brocks Ti Exhaust, BSTS - sold it, bought the Duc to slow down, and now I'm blowing my brains out all over again....

Had a 2011 Gen 1, next was a 2012, then added a turbo, then blew it up, then built it, then sold it to Rick, then bought the 2015, then sold it, now on a 2010 special edition.... To say i have a love affair with the 14 is putting it mildly....

Matt! Congrats! That Diavel looks sweet. I can't wait to hear it with the Hindle.

The 2010SE 14 colour scheme has always been one of my favorites! No matter how many bikes you have you gotta have a 14 in your back pocket somewhere. Lol it's a very intoxicating bike!

Thanks Dave, I am hopefully getting it back this week - the diavel I mean. They are just finalizing it, then sending the pipe out for ceramic coating.
I love being back out on the 14 though and you are right, it needs to be in ones stable.....
do you recognize who's bike it was?

Here's a pic with the new pipe on, but with the seat on.... doh!...

No, It's the master builders bike. (your bikes father)
It is in such good shape that although I didn't really need it, I just had to have it.
