Welcome Max.

The XJ's are nice but the 14's are so much, better. You are going to love it.

G'day Max and welcome to the nuthouse 👍
I'm interested to see how having two similar bikes feels once you've ridden the GSX (with 6 gears) more often.
I will await your feedback  :cheers:

A'noon, a slower black one will be less of an upgrade from the XgayR so easier to get used too.

Yeah, possibly makes more peak horsepower ?

Not as much strong useable low down torque ?

I love the 14's stronger bottom end, but chasing horsepower I wouldn't want to be riding either...  :whistling:
