    2012 ZX14r

    Well the wait is over, initial thoughts? I like the look of it (apart from the flame decals) Also in the video about the engine the guy states it makes the most power of any Kwaka ever built... by a long shot even! when you take in to consideration the power there very own ZX10r makes, well should be some large numbers!

    Looks nice although I wish some of these manufacturers wouls stop using urine sample pots for the fluids. The solid boxes with level windows look far better.

    My two cents: hooray for analog (dials)!

    (And it looks a bit less like a boat now).
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    I like it and look forward to seeing more pics/data. Then again, I didn't mind the earlier models either, but I won't tell NZSarge that!

    Specs/Reviews, but I'm sure they'll be along soon enough.

    I'm not buying one though, cause it's a stinking Jappa. Actually, I've got my eye on the new V4 Tuono.

    If you follow the link in the first post you'll get most of the bike's spec's there.
    I'll find some other links for you re reviews...but some more unbiased ones will come out shorty

    +1

    I fucking hate those things, they'd look like a cheap shortcut even on a Chinese bicycle.

    Ugly, but a fraction of the weight.

    He scared if he rides a Japanese bike again he'll realize what he's been missing.... like a cylinder for starters!

    I like all the updates bar the zorst, I hope Kawasaki aren'y going to replace Suzuki as the manufacturer with the ugliest exhausts, mind you anyone who doesn't let the 14 loose with the volume just doesn't get it.
    Jeez those American ads couldn't be any cornier could they?
    Yeah really nice... particularly in black for the extra menace.

    Why is there a pod of peas on the dash?

    Still battlestar huge, but they added some slimming vents which help a little I think.

    Takes the ugly mufflers of the year award off the B-King, and still looks like it was raped by an RF900.
