Default kawasaki zx-14

I was looking on the kawasaki website and I think their ugly....dont have the styling of a ZX6R or even a ZX10. What do you guys think? Anyone seen it in person yet....does it look better in person than on the website?

like my cousin says, who cares, the only thing people will see of it is the rear end anyways. He is supposed to be getting one as soon at the dealer can get it in. I'll post pics as long as he gets it.

I saw one in person at Bike Week. First look I thought it was ugly. The longer I looked, though I was kind of getting used to it. I thought the same about the 'Busa too.

I sat on it. Not quite the racer crouch, which is good for me. I'm 6'1" and I can't ride humped over. Seating position is a little like the ZX12. If I remember right, the clip ons are like the ZX12's, bolted to the top of the triple clamp. Can put risers to get them up a bit.

I may have to check into one a little closer.

One downside is it's not offered in green.

My wife asked me why I did not buy a 14. I said nah, I do not like going fast. Will stick with the 7 and the 10r.
