lowered ZX14 ready for action.....

[Bowman]

even if it has 183hp it's still ugly

[DaveO]

I am looking for 165 to 170 RWHP out of the box; around 12 more with a pipe and tuning module; and another 12 with cams, headwork and pistons..........compression ratio only. Low 190's to mid 190's with all the above and using pump gas and SAE. Add 10 more for STD and oxy fuel. In my view, the wild card is the stock head, valves and cam combination.

Closer....

Maybe Kawasaki figured an ugly bike worked for Suzuki, so, it might work for them. Me, as well as tons of other people I'm sure, thought the Hayabusa was the ugliest motorcyle on the planet when it first came out. Even though I'm a Kaw man, the Busa does grow on you, which the ZX14 will probably do. As for me thinking the Busa was really ugly, it grew on me and there sure are a lot of nice ones on this forum.

[Bowman]

It may grow on some people but not me. I like the 10 and the 12 but the 14 is just fucking ugly.

[Bowman]

Also I have nothing against Kawasaki, I've owned ninja's and almost purchased a 12 as I may do so anyways. But IMO that 14 has to be the ugliest bike I have seen

Why am I tempted to believe that you have already accesed privileged and confidential information? The better it does in stock form, the less upside.......which could be the case. Unless it has a killer head and 34mm valves, I am looking at it as a 1363 and benchmarking accordingly.

mokaw is you first name richard?

mokaw is you first name richard?

No. It's Larry. You must be thinking of ZX12richard. He's about 300 lbs. and rides a green 2000 12 with nitrous. I'm about 150 lbs. and I ride a 2000 12 with nitrous, but it's the faster red color.

[Hayabusa200]

if it only had a nicer seat

You mean... If it only had nicer bodywork... Some bikes grow on you, this one makes me wanna puke. I could care less how fast it is, cause I would be embarassed to be seen on it...
BUTT ASS UGLY!!!!!!

[Bowman]

It'a all ugly but there is something bad wrong with that seat.....Not too sporty

[2slow2go]

i have no problem with Kawasaki, i have owned several thru the years.
Always solid , always fast.
There was a 12 next to my Busa on the showroom floor...
Decided it was time for a change.
The 14 will be fast,
Is your bike faster, if its not you will find all kinds of faults with there new product.
Best way to view one is in the rear view mirror

[GSXRme]

Believe it when i see it

+1.. those stock pipes have to be killing the HP... I bet it sounds like the stock hayabusa pipes.

I say 165 at the most COMPLETELY STOCK

[GSXRme]

Personally I can't get over the banana seat... OMFG what were they thinking?

Kawi uses high Comp Pistons that sqeezes alittle more HP out of the motor. Put JE 13:1 in your stock 81mm Busa motor and youll get the same numbers...

Kawi is smart for doing those little things. I'm glad Kawi released the ZX-14... now the Busas wont be the ugliest sport bike on the road. +1

A few buddies seen it at the javits show  and said it looked alot better in real life!!

Also said if felt light and had a Huge crowd looking at it..They were also saying alot of talk around the bike was how the busa is done and this is the bike to have now!!

Just what they said..hopefully all the talk about the blitz By suzuki is Right and they release the totally new one Mid summer!!

Funny Qote from Revalot on Psychobike>

RG you are a great guy, And Kawasaki has alot of love for you, #1 you are wise with your words,/those who sponsor you like that,# 2 you are a great rider, I watched the last Pro Star race on TV/Speed, and you rode that ZUK 1K like a bat out of hell, Here my thoughts on the ZX-14,

BONE Stock 9,50 to 9,60 1/4,speed 150-155 MPH,
Gear,Pipe, low to the ground, 9,10 8,90 160 MPH,

It will be better than todays busa,

But there is a Prophecy, after the busa came out in 99, Their was a anti busa,That would try in be like the real busa, It failed in it,s 1st attemp, The ZX-12R, The story says that after 7 years, A New Beast would awake from the ashes/abyss to try once again for the speed crown 1/4 mile, and the beast arose, And many people were fooled by the 2nd beast, and rode it, Then a bright light begin to shine, after 6-12 months, The New and better busa returned with 1500cc, And the anti-busa/ ZX-14 was destroyed, and all those that rode it, stock times were 9,40-9,30 155-160 stock, Pipe,gear, low, 8,80-870, the beast was and is no more, And then the real busa said, Luke Im your father! 

Just having some fun guys. Thanks

[Twisted]

what say you?

honestly, does that bike really have modern styling?  do the lines blend and flow? can it go underwater? wheres the snorkel?

E-Racer, Thanks for posting that, I wrote that myself, When the board crashed a few years ago, My pc hard drive went bad also, So with the new hard drive, I could not sign on here with my old name, Which is Revalot, Im a preacher, And on my 0ld 95 1100 ZUK, The 39FCR would hit so hard in fast, I tag the rev limit alot, So Revalot came to mind, The Kid Quick I just made up, Im not quick at all, Maybe at the mouth, but not on my busa yet.
