Although the black one is very nice to look at, the silver one really is much nicer. Probably the nicest engine I have ever seen.
I love those black covers!

The black engine looks more muscular! Like a Doberman. But another shot for the aficionados!

Having been back from Austin and MotoGP for all of 15 minutes, I have a LOT of catching up to do.

I figured this thread would be a good place to ask this question............I want to polish the edges of the fins on the head only......................
Like Kawasaki did with the Z1. Any suggestions on how to go about this? Obviously I don't want it to look like a shade tree mechanic did it.
One more thing..................
AUSTIN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is done by using a fine-grit sandpaper. Only issue might be it'll allow moisture under the coating and could cause the dark gunmetal color to bubble due to corrosion.

this is a great picture, nice lighting
just a thought that came to mind. are the fins the same fro m13 models to 14? doubt that changed.... but these 14s look different
