ZZR 1400

[gav]

Looks evil!!

[Sensei]

Nice a rebadged BlackBird

[R6_kid]

ZX12R meet Hayabusa? That thing must put out a shit load of torque... 1400cc twin?

[gamgee]

haha the front disk is almost as big as the rim, that bike looks meeeeeeeean dunno i think thats just getting a little rediculous for a road going bike

[R6_kid]

Nice a rebadged BlackBird

has a few more lines than the blackbird IMO

does that make the 636 a rebadged CBR600RR?

[R6_kid]

any specs for it around? That would be up in the league of the Goldwing kinda bikes wouldnt it, or it supposed to be a hyper-sport like the blackbird and busa?

It's a four. Kawasaki don' make no steekin twin. Dey get Sazooki to make their slow bikes.

Aparently they are now focusing on being more compeditive in the sports aspect with the ZZR next year, the blackbird has never had anything on the ZZR, the ZZR is the pinical of sports tourers full stop.

when did the ZZR become a four? i thought they were all big twin thumper? the ones i've seen were anyway.. 250,400,600

either way a 1400 four in a bike is gonna a torque monster and generally just hual ass. On that note, how much ass is it hauling... is it actually sporty or is another whale in disguise?

ZZR 400, 600, 1100, and 1200 have always been 4 cylinder bikes. Only the 250 has been a twin.

[riffer]

Hmmm.

Kinda looks a bit like the RF.

Maybe the designers took a trip to the same aquarium for inspiration?

I like it.

Might be worth considering in a few years if I keep putting on weight in my 40s like I seem to have done in my 30s...

Go on - one of you guys buy one so there's a second hand one going in five years or so. ;)

A bloody long time, remeber the ZZR11 was the best production sports bike for a long time...

cheers for the correction :ride:

[R6_kid]

must be what you get when an alien fucks a hayabusa...

I LIKE IT!!! those lights are wierd, but i like the big intake, could probably eat a decent sized bird.

[James Deuce]

No worries gareth. Just remember: I like being a pompous arse.

Thanks for the Pic Gav - talk about lights of DOOM!!!.

Flash the high beams and make the sucker's head in front bubble and spit fat. Muahahahahaaa

[John]

I hope we get the ZZR600 next year, seems only the yankiedoodles have it at the moment, tis one sexy beast.

The people i've talked to about (who had bought it) say it is indeed a great bike.

(maybe we did get it, I just havent heard any stores that stock them).

[Big Dave]

be interesting to see if it's big enough ergonomically for the larger man.

Dislike the 'proboscus' back guard treatment and the liney things on the forks and fairing.

But overall looks like my kinda bike.

[zadok]

A real powerhouse. Too much for me, but very nice.

I don't think so... check out the comparative tests!

Looks really wicked though.

[Gremlin]

Do you think I could chuck a few 250 stickers on it and call it a zzr250??

I'd be the envy of all the other zzr250 riders... :Punk:

[froggyfrenchman]

Yummy. Bugger bout the pipes though

[Sniper]

Hmmmm, all I can say is.... Its different
