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.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ZX AND THE ZZR 1400? IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A LITTLE WIDER.

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...

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...
