How hot is this bike?!?

D-Rock · 10-02-2008, 12:23 PM

it has nice fart cans.. i guess.. not really my type of bike. The busa guys might like it. The colors are kinda cool.

**sideshow_downs** · 10-02-2008, 12:30 PM

I wouldn't be ashamed to park it in my garage next to my FZ. I someday want to have one

It's my type of bike!

Eh! it's okay. I prefer the ZZR1200 (that is why we bought it) to the ZX14, my husband sat on one and said it was not as comfortable as the ZZRs.. they may have changed the seating though..

I got a chance to try one out.

You know what? If you're going to get a BIG BEEFY sportbike, the ZX-14 should definitely be your 1st choice. I had no issues with the layout or comfort. My only minor complaint is the 1st gear....

You guys complain about a "clunk" when you go 1st gear on your FZ6?
The ZX-14 goes, "GWARXXXRRX" like stepping on a pop-can. Besides that, I wouldn't underestimate the Ninja!

It's also quieter than the FZ6 too.

I dig the color scheme, but Im more of a Busa guy. I'd love to have either in my garage though.
