[QUOTE="Knifemaker, post: 679740, member: 1075"] Well crap, If you say it is "Better" it must be...How could I have been so wrong in my thinking. I hate to point out the obvious here, but having more gadgetry , and even having more power does not make one bike "better" than another. After all those years riding Harleys I would have thought you knew that. A motorcycle is an extension of ones soul, it needs to fit in the heart as well as on paper. To me the C14 is the ugliest bike Kawasaki has produced. It does not capture my soul when I look at it , like the FJR does. The one I rode felt clumsy and heavy compared to the FJR. But I realize these are subjective issues. And if someone were in the market for a ST ride I would not insist one was better but would say that they need to ride each and make that decsion themselves and not be swayed by others opinions, like mine, or yours. I had several bikes that I loved just as much as my FJR...they were not as fast, had no fancy electronics, but were a joy to own and ride. Don't have the gall to try and steer someone away from any bike based on your feelings when you are completely unaware of how they might feel themselves. And "propaganda "?.. You do know this is a FJR forum right? Are you saying one would not find the same propaganda at a BMW or Connie forum? One would think an intelligent person coming here for info would take that into consideration. KM [/QUOTE]
