ZZR14
Chicago Cycle has had about 20 of these lined up on the floor for a couple of months... they are not selling very well. Most folks still seem to want the Busa for some reason. Maybe kawi needs to come up with a sexy name like the Busa has - I dunno. I sat on them a few times... big bikes for sure, but a lot of the weight seems low and well balanced unlike the Busa. Would love to take one for a ride once, but I remember my first and only ride on a ZX11... great straighline bike - but don't think you will be doing any twisty roads with it heheh...
Really though - with the p/w ratio of the 600s and 1000s of today, plus the supposed return of the zx7 in 2008 - is a 1.4 liter sportbike really necessary for anyone? People did the Busa because it was a status symbol... hardly any of those people actually *use* the bike though.

Am I the only one who thinks it's an ugly fat bug eyed looking monster? Don't get me wrong I love Kwakas and the 636's look great as well as the dirt bikes but that thing just looks like a bus or something. JMO
The ZX7 is coming back? OMG if it has fuel injection I am all over it...I was hoping they would do that but I have not heard anything about it. I was thinking of getting the ZX14 with my tax return I might just wait now.

Keep in mind that the 11's last design update was in 1993.
The 14 is actually getting great reviews for rideability. Turn-in takes more effort, sure, but...
