my opinion only. some bikes just look nice, appeal thru time. cb750, z1 kawas, 900ss duke bevel. many more. prices evaluate by rarity, exclusiveness, but quite a few by just being a good looking machine. many later models are much better, people only see the look they like. i fit 14 into the good looking category as well as being a good bike.i look at old cb750 and think just how nice. when we had them as kids, never thought or realised they looked good. 14 will be a classic in lots of years time. its an elle macpherson for sure.

First time I saw a 14 in the flesh so to say. Sheltering from the rain in Carnells Grimsby. I knew one day I'd get one. One word. Presence. With a capital 'P'.

Funny thing about 14's - virtually no two are identical. Some, I'll be honest (don't shoot me down) go too far with the accessory catalogue. Nice tasteful/subtle/practical mods are what I like and appreciate.

Couple on UK eBay north of £7K now.  :whistling:

I'm slightly the other side to you Basil, I love the look of the stock Black 14..... except for the alloy finish which is only used as its a cheaper alternative for the mass market. This leaves bags of potential to improve (IMO). I look at photo's of mine as stock and I really dont like it compared to where I am now.
The real plus is the 14 is easy and relatively cheap to customise to your own tastes. There are some fantastic creations out there which IMO add to the desireability of the bike. I dont think the forum would exist if we were all looking at stock bikes.

Dont get me started on the Bazooka!!!  :furious:
