I love my cruiser, but I think I'd like a sportbike as well. I'm trying to decide between the ZX-10 and the ZX-14. From what I understand, the ZX-14 is uncomparable when it comes to straight ahead acceleration, but the ZX-10 would be more nimble in twists and turns. Thoughts?

I have about 5500 miles on my 14 and its superb as far as comfort goes. I did just replace the rear tire with a Metzler M3 and the bike is far more nimble than with the OEM tires. Its more than nimble enough for me and great for longer stints in the saddle. Oh and twisting the throttle always brings a smile to my face!
