Hi all new to the forum bought my 14 a 2006 in mint condition with 17000 on the clock back in august after wanting one for years !
and i have to say i love it warts and all , i have a tiger 955i as well as my winter bike as i cant bring my self to ride the 14 on the salt riden roads of winter.
But im looking forward to putting some miles on it next summer in the meantime some mods and light customisation , and im looking forward to learning more about the 14 and getting to know so like minded owners .  :)
i intend to live for ever or die trying !!

Welcome.
Yes unless very well protected the 14 will melt like a slug in salt.
I have toured Scotland a few times on my 14, with wife and full luggage too, and it works great up there. Had a mate, former Yamaha employee and experienced rider, follow us once on his BMW RT tourer in Scotland and he admitted he had to work hard to try to keep up (couldn't quite manage it) and could not understand how I could ride the 14 like a 250. Explained it did take time to get the set up spot on but after that It was one hell of a road bike in day to day real world use.

If you are going to run out of fuel, do it in your garage.

It's only a short walk to the kettle.
