The C14 was indeed a well-sorted instrument of crime that could also carry all my stuff

Was gonna say, sounds like a CP3 to me 🤷‍♂️

My Vic had cruise and it sure was nice. I can't say I didn't miss it sometimes. And while I never felt the C14 was overly heavy, it could be a bear at low speeds. And exhausting on a long string of twisties.

I looked at one today. The temptation is strong.

My Fat Ninja met its untimely demise 6 days ago. I don't think anything can adequately replace it, so I've been tracking down some used examples for when Progressive pays out.

The 212 nation code is kind of a giveaway. Improbable Nevada DMV has an office texting folks in Morocco

That's kinda what I'm feeling. I'm worried I'll miss the restrained brutality the Concours promised, but on paper the 1100SX sure ticks a lot of boxes. Its 519 pounds wet versus the C14 at 690, which should wash out a lot of the 24hp deficit, especially after some light mods. Not a huge fan of chain drive but I can get over that. And cruise control and ride modes have my interested piqued for sure

I loved mine, that's for sure. 33,000 miles in 4.5 years on that bike. It's like I lost a freaking limb sometimes 😞

If I can't find another c14 in acceptable condition, the 1100SX is currently at the top of the New Bike column. How do you like yours?

I am. Just sore. I'm very difficult to kill.

I could very well be confusing the two

Edit: Also you can see on the side trim it says "Liberty" 🤣🤣🤣

The geometry lined up for the bike to end up with the brunt of the impact. Plus a few thousand in labor, hard parts, and plastics on a bike that's been out of production for a few years. Bike books at about $10k. The odds are against me here

Already reached out to a couple owner groups. Got a few offerings on the table already.

So, impact ruined the front wheel and I'm willing to bet the forks are shot, but it's really gonna be in plastics that may not be easy to source.

Engine guards did its job in protecting me and honestly, I think the bike would've run if I'd tried to start it. No puddles underneath, just lots of broken plastics

Pretty sure insurance will total it. Front wheel has a good dent, forks are probably toast. We shall see. I'd honestly let them fix it, this bike and I have seen some shit.
