[QUOTE="Eagle Six, post: 1403991, member: 90552"] Hi Eric, I think I'm one who would be an example of your thorey. Currently I have 2 bikes, a 2006 Gen1 ZX14 and a 2012 Gen 2 ZX14r. I purchased both of them within the past year. Both were lower mileage than your example of 0-5 years old and both where below the average of 7 grand. There is no Gen 3 in the Ninja ZX14 series as yet to temp me. Both bikes are souped up a bit and both bikes run quit satisfactory and way beyond my capabilities. I do have a the H2 SX SE at the top of my list, but am hesitant to press the trigger on it because it just isn't that much more of a bike than my current ZX14r I purchased for a bit less than 7 grand compared to the 25 grand fully loaded with some extras for the H2 SX SE. I would think many folks with a 1, 2, or 3 gen FJR are sitting in the same slot as me. I would think this isn't the whole reason for the slump in new sales, but I would agree your point is at least in part some of the reasoning. Although, the H2 SX SE just seems like something I should have before I retire from riding.....I've never had a supercharged bike, and I could supercharge one of my ZX14's for far less than a new H2 SX. Nonetheless, the new H2 SX SE, at least for me, sure is a sweet looking ride!! [/QUOTE]
