[QUOTE="BDF, post: 878248, member: 19457"] Agreed- the support is there for Feejers because they have been around a lot longer. There doesn't seem to be the solid knowledge base on the C-14 side though. From a distance, it seems that a much larger percentage of FJR riders are more serious, hard- core bike riders when compared with C-14 riders. It is hard to tell as the C-14 is so new and the economy tanked right after the C-14 was introduced. As to the comparison between a C-14 and a K1200GT, I found them to be very close. The power is similar although the C-14 has more on the top end while the K1200GT is better at medium RPM ranges, at least until the 'flies are pulled from the C-14. Overall, the two bikes are very close in performance and abilities. The only significant different I found was that BMW front end without forks. There is no feedback as to what the front wheel is doing- it is like riding a video game instead of the actual bike. There will probably be more C-14s show up in the next two IBRs. There are already quite a few showing up in organized SS 1000's and similar so as those people advance into longer rallies the C-14 will probably advance with them. Brian [/QUOTE]
