Depends what you want in a bike.Heard good things about them,if you want a big grunty fast sports tourer,then its perfect.

You need to add a third option that isn't a nasty Kwak...

Its too big for a sports bike. I like corners.

think this is another 42 and balding topic,

**BadCompany** · 5th June 2008, 16:53

He's 32, and his last bike was totalled so he needs a new one. How is that 42 and balding?

but maybe a little short on horsepower

Race you from the Kopu bridge to Prescots Garage and back then :P

ZX14 is a nice machine and there are some great deals on run-out models.

The question is ... can you afford the tyres?

not if you want to do motorcross

Absolutely, best bike I've ever ridden, had mine for 7 months and done nearly 22000km on it.... You just need to get rid of the crap OEM tyres and chuck on something better.

LOL!!!!!!!! Mate...there's a certain KB R6 rider that knows a ZX14 can do tight Coro twisties more than ok when the right pilot is in charge of the ZX14.
