200 hp zx14 lunch date

One thing however this thing has got huge power, I noticed that you have to be careful with exit throttle control, as you could spin out the rear if not careful, especially in the wet. I dont think a experienced rider will have a problem, but this is seriously NOT a newbie bike or a bike for the inconfident rider

I find this one of the challenges on riding a Busa that I enjoy is keeping the monster under control and unleashing power in a controlled fashion. Keeping in mind that what will do a lot, will also do a little with the difference being between your ears being good advice when riding these big uns. I think that it will be a huge success in the hyper tourer class like the Busa and ZX12R before it.

thanks for reminding me. yes thats right. waay to fast. rediculous.

i love kawasakis - but its an ugly bike.

i'm sure its great for aero dynamics and i am positive the engine is pure magic and for a big bike i am sure its wicked in the corners.

but for a poser like me it just dont do it for me in the looks dept.

the perfect bike would have the 06 R1 front, the Gixxer 06 ASS, honda engine and running gear, in green white and black with a big fat Ninja ZX sitcker on the side.

bite me.

Sell your bike to someone who doesnt think gay thoughts.

This is a post from the Australian Blackbird site from someone who has just ridden the Kwakka.

Pro's
Torque from wo to go. Get it up to 60km/hr in 6th & no more gear changes req'd. Even through roadworks at 40km/hr(Toodyay Rd).

Get up & go , awesome . I will say that mine is more "throw u back in ur seat) , but no comparison after the initial hit though, th Z just goes & goes.

The digital dash has all the km/l , ditance till mt etc which was a buzz(just like a car).

Planted planted planted , also very very throw around able, more so than my bike (which is also 215kg with the 4/1 system).Like the ZX12 it is very easy to drop into a corner.

Con's
Firstly & definately the biggest critism that stopped a sale..U form an intergral part of the fairing with your legs. Yesterday was 2degrees first up ,at 8:30 going there , mmm nippy. On the ZX-14 my legs froze as the are totally exposed.The wind lash is terrible (I am 5'8").

The fluid resivoirs are plastic bottles on Super Cheap auto's Brackets.

The steering head nut (double) is staring at u as if say "couldn't be stuffed making a cover) Mitch is right , the build quality is streets behind.

$19019....... I would buy a Busa before a ZX-14/

Conclusion..
Awesomely powerful SPORTS BIKE....NOT SOMETHING TO RIDE ACROSS OZ ON.

BETTER KEEP THAT QUIET OR TRIUMPH WILL MAKE ONE , IE THE 955 TRUMPY WAS BITS OF DUCATI AND BLADE AND OTHER STUFF

[APPLE]

hmmm might upgrade my wee ninja to a big ninja, if they are that good, sounds like they might just be a good step up from the 250

hahahahahahaha.....you hav to be joking man?

All sprotsbikes seem to like having little urine-sample bottles on Super Cheap brackets for fluid reservoirs. Why? There can't be that much more weight in a nicely-integrated unit. And so what if there is?

[UrbanMyth]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh man i wanna just see one in real life

[WINJA]

fucken idiots 200hp going thru a 250cc sized unbraced swing arm , the whole bike looked a little slapped together

I SAW ON CLOSE UP TODAY , THE SWING ARM WAS TOO SKINNY ITS LIKE ON OF THOSE BODY BUILDERS WITH SKINNY LEGS WHERES THE BRACE ?AND IT JUST HAD THAT SLAPPED TOGETHER LOOK TO ME .

LOOK AT THE PIC , THAT SWING ARM LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE AT HOME ON A ZXR250

[imdying]

Winja is right ya know... no stinking jap engineer with 3d finite model anaylsis could possibly put the right size/strength swingarm into their latest 200hp bike.

[The_Dover]

That's because their squinty eyes are no good for 3d software.

ENGINEERS CAN SAY WHAT THEY WANT ITS THE ACCOUNTANTS THAT GET THE FINAL SAY , AND I DONT GIVE A FUCK IF IT IS STRONG ENOUGH CAUSE IT LOOKS FLIMSY AND UGLY

Rode the Busa for the first time yesterday, booked a ride on the ZX14 for next weekend.............keen to see the differences..........at least you can be assurred an unbiased opinion from me on these two..........I am niether a Suzuki or Kwaka fan, however they are the only ones who build a HyperSports worth serious consideration.........and one of these could well be my next stead.
