Torture rack to a degree but that can be solved quickly with aftermarket bar raisers and rear sets.

I think the bike will be sick either way you slice it. Again, race wins and championships aren’t going to make any consumer that buys any liter bike a better rider, unless you get 100 hours with Kevin Schwantz with your purchase.

So, who here thinks that if Ben Spies and Jamie Hacking had swapped bikes, there respecitive finishing positions in the past championships would have swapped too? Don’t think so. We know Yosh Suzuki had the best team, but, Ben would have won the championships on Hackings’ ZX10….

bah humbug to those who state that people can’t use a liter-bikes power. I happen to believe my 2010 ZX-10R is slow. I’ve gotten used to the power and now want more. Wan’t until riding my friends 636 again a couple days ago that I remembered how fast my bike is. It’s really all about convenience. The 1000 scoots hard at much lower rpm’s, making it a more streetable bike. High hp liter-bikes still lack the initial torque hit of a twin, so it’s nice when they make them lighter…unfortunately, the power levels are such that the new liter-bikes come with timing retard programmed in under throttle opening…making them feel really laggy. Fortunatley that can be remedied with aftermarket electronics. If you read the review on the Z1000, you hear a lot about the “delay” in throttle response. The current ’08up ZX-10R has the same issue. Not to mention 1st gear to 100mph…I was shocked when I rode my bike home from the dealership. Reading 4500rpm at 75 mph or so? WTH? I went -1/+2 on the gearing, got the timing retard eliminator, and a few other goodies and have been having a blast ever since =)

The ZX-14 (and Hayabusa too for that matter)…Ah, yes, the “LS6 Chevelles” of the “Big Bore” Bikes.
It won’t win any autocross or slalom races but it will give u a good run from RED LITE to RED LITE or TopSpeed runs…@thousand$$$ less than a Pagani Zonda or Buggati Veyron.

What if im a “Poser” who needs his sportbike with “full” bodywork but don’t feel like a Ninja 650 would “Enhance” me enough ? LOL.
And my complaint is that anywhere but on the Track they are 99.9% Torture Racks and NO, every JoeSchmo that buys one won’t go to “Track Day” IT like that pretty picture we can imagine.
Seriously, i see where ur coming from…but like me…is only an Opinion. U know what is said about it.

Well if they did their homework like they did for the ZX-6R, than Kawsaki is likely to have the best liter bike available…until the other manufactures release their new bikes that is…
