Zx-14 customs on the newstands

[BigDiesel]

Super Street Bike n Two Wheel Tuner both have coverage of Roaring Toyz new full cutsom ZX-14Rs. SSB also has Ricky Gadson's new personal ZX-14 that ran a 8.96 at Valdosta, Georgia and he also rode another 14 preped by Coby Adams/Muzzy (w/100-shot of NOS) that put down a 8.48sec 1/4 @178mph...

time to stuff that cheater bottle under the hump fellas!
I know these are times being set on a track by arguably THE best rider Kawi has, but still.....pretty impresive numbers.

Gadson can ride thats for sure!

The question is

, are you saying except for the NOS it's a stock bike ? I'am not taking away anything from Ricky, but I would like to know how those times compare on a head to head, rider to rider of his caliber

Um....whole point of this was just to get the word out on custom 14s-I think the green one is acutally pretty hot. and Gadson's looks ahhhh....decent? I really want to see one in person, but none available here in Fat City USA yet.
