Looking at 22 zx14r need input
03/06/22 10:32 PM

I’m a current 2020 triumph rocket 3r owner looking into getting a zx14r. I’m 6’3 310 and planning to ride 2up with a bigger passenger also. Will this bike support that kind of payload and also what kind of comfort mods are available for 2 up riding because the triump rocket is miserable for 2up even with every single comfort part you can buy. Feel free to steer me in the direction I should go. The h2sx community said the bike would be lacking for someone of my size with a passenger. I also have a power trip and love to get down in the corners. I’m 30 minutes from the dragon so I get my twisty time in quite often but 2 up riding will be done on longer smoother rides.

I'm 6'3" and was up to 230 at one time. I think it would be perfect for you. More power than you will ever need. -bg

The 14 and a 300+ rider alone is probably perfect on the power end, as BG stated. Two up riding is the sticker on the bike and max weight limit the manufacturer places on the bike(s).

That's gear/luggage/rider weight all add up. If it's a lot of two up riding, I'd hop on a Honda GL touring model. The bike can take on the dragon for what it is.

If you're dragon drags you there for the sport riding, then the 14. So how many times does the dragon call vs get out and ride and play it safe 2up touring.

Alone = 14
2up = GL

I used to be 200 and I carried a 100 lb passenger on my Gen1. I really didn't notice a difference in power carrying the passenger compared to just me.
