I have delkevic exhaust on my 2019 zx14r and love them. Have the 9” ovals AND have the 18” ovals. Both sets have the DB KILLERS removed. Takes a couple of minutes to swap them depending on my mood. Less than $500 for either the FULL SYSTEM or the SLIP-ONS.
Just picked up a 2017 zx14r abs se 1200 miles 62 year old had not a scratch $9000 i have had 18 motorcycles over the years best one yet was on my bucket list .
These bikes are beautiful in stock form. I have a 2013 (black with green vent stripes) with a few paint chips. Plan on getting it back to showroom condition even though it still looks immaculate with 32k and love the looks / low quiet hum of the stock pipes. Superb performance, reliability, styling and comfort… and easy maintenance. Total package!
Just picked same bike up few weeks ago, do a full brocks with a ecu flash, you won’t even know it was the same bike. And a set of risers you can ride it all day.
What crowd is that? In many reviews I see a wide range of owner demographics from young to old and across cultural and race boundaries, and this bike is admired in many countries. Lots of middle age guys buying these bikes, before they age out. Another benefit for older riders is lower insurance costs. I am one of those middle aged dudes, picking up my 2021 this afternoon.
@@maybe5883 I'm a middle aged guy who just bought a 2013 also. I think there is a degree of nostalgia that plays into it as well for our age demographic especially now that they are not going to produce anymore. The legend of "The Busa Killer" and such. Enjoy your ride brothers - they literally don't make them like that anymore.
@@maybe5883 how do you like the bike, I am 62 and hope to buy one myself soon. Am traveling around Mexico now on 650 V-Strom, could certainly use the extra Hp on these long open highways..
Have the same bike.i put a full 4 into 1 yoshi R77 system on mind and reflashs the ECU. You will notice a considerable difference handing wise and performance wise if you where to do that to your
Yeah I can just imagine that because as she sits now stock when you accelerate hard the torque pushes you helmet against your head and pulls your hands off the grips!! Heck, it's hard to stay on the bike in stock form! Lol😅😅
The Concours is nice. The 14r will be just a little more aggressive. Word is 2020 will be the last year for the Zed-14. Just like the big block Muscle Cars, the big block bikes are giving way to the smaller cc bikes.
@markurbancowboy I heard they say that every year...Are they stopping production of the C14 too? Good vid bro. Hope your wrong an I can still get me one in the year or two.
Just got a set of the Two Brothers carbon fiber slipons! Yep, you're right the bike sounds like a beast! Also, got rid of almost 40lbs of weight with the stock mufflers! Dang, didn't think they were that heavy until I removed them! I read there is a catalyst in each stock pipe also so I got rid of them.
Beautiful bike, I own the ‘18 model and love it. I fit the older crowd and this is so comfortable to me. I rode in low power and did 215, before my fuel gauge started blinking,on the highway at 75-85 mph it it felt great! I weight 190 and there was no wind that day. I’m getting the slip on yoshi put on as soon as the shop calls me and tells me there in. I love that deep throat sound. Will get my ECU flashed also. Have you put your slip- ons yet? If so, what did you go with?
Thanks, check my CZcams channel vids, I did another video of my Two Brothers carbon fiber slip-ons. I did a power commander tune also; probably should have gotten a flash like you're gonna do because I heard they gain you more power. Unfortunately I no longer have the bike, I traded it in on a Harley Davidson Road Glide; just wanted something to cruise on and that's it.
@@snakeman9902 2022 Harley Davidson Road Glide ST. It's on my channel. I went back to a cruiser for the comfort and etc, LOL too old now for the hyper sport bikes.😊
cc isn't the real reason why it's more powerful. Even the 998cc bikes are making high 190s to low 200 and the gen 2 busa not putting those numbers down. On the comfort side for me cause I just bought a 14r, 14r no comfortable at all to me. Pretty aggressive and I am 5'11. Not a suzki guy but the hayabusa for me was way more comfortable.
The liter bikes make about the same HP but you have to rev the shit out of them. The big bore 14r makes the power at a much lower rpm. That's the difference the more cc's make. Oh, and the same for the torque.
@@markurbancowboy yep tq without a doubt will be much higher cause of the increase in cc. The other edge the 1000cc has over them big bikes, power to weight. In majority of the races you watch here, you'd see a 14r take off but it doesn't stay ahead long. In fact by the time they hit 3-4th gear the 1000 already came around it. Rider error also makes things worse
@@chriscarter9875 What the liter bikes have over the 14R is constant development (basically every year they get more technological advancements) whereas the 14R and Busa's stay the same. This is the reason they get faster and ect; but if you look at the performance levels when the 14R and Busa were introduced, they were the fastest production accelerating bikes.
Nothing sounds better than the 14 even at idle
Best video to show colors of bike on CZcams. Thanks!

Just curious what State you bought that 2017 from? I think I may know who that person was.
I love both ZX14 and the Busa
don't worry you have a missile with two wheels and i love it. what a brutal bike 😎😎😎😎

Love it, I bought a 2018 and the end on the summer. Loving life.
Congrats. Awesome bike!
Really nice colour way, I miss my 14R
Damn dude that's a nice clean bike!

Yep, a friend of mine did that. Thanks, that's in the plan for the future.
I have same bike with flash filter and coffman exhaust makes huge difference
Oh man she's beautiful..

Sounds good. I have been on a Concours 14 for ten years. Great bike but I have my eye on the 14R.

There will be plenty new ones left to get for awhile so you're good to go man!
I can recommend Two Brothers carbon slip ons, good value, look great in my opinion and sound the business

Do I need power commander for Two brothers slip on exhaust? Thanks.

You’ve got the best bike in Market … ask me 💚
Was gonna get one anyway but wife just OK'd the go ahead so going to get the 2020 very soon.
You will love it man! The power and torque is ridiculous and it is so smooth!
Did you ever get your bike and if so how do you like it?
I did. 2020 ZX14R Green and black
I'm about to get a gen 2 as well.. was your down payment over $2K??
Beautiful bike, I have the 2020 version, best bike in my opinion, do you have any updates on this lovely beast? First time viewing your channel. 👍👍
Thanks man. No, I traded the bike in a few years back.
