Rickey Gadson Very Happy With The 2012 Kawasaki ZX-14R - Featured News

I dunno, I'd have to see it in person and would opt for the solid black but it's not quite as ugly s the old ones were. I bet it would be fun to rocket in a straight line though...

Those exhaust pipes are huge! Not my cup of tea, that bike is big and gaudy looking. Yes, it's fast! Don't like the looks.

Don't wanna be a debbie downer but MAN that thing is ugly!!

Jayhawkk · 10-10-2011, 11:14 AM

Yeah it's ugly but I'm more interested in how well it can perform... More curious than anthying. The front is still ugly but not as bad as the old spider eyes it had.

surely bikes like this have had their day???

I guess I'm in the minority...I actually like the bike, I loved my ZX-14. Can't wait to see what color schemes they come up with!

I liked the looks of the last ZX 14.

Good God that thing is ugly!
I wonder if it will be as quick as the S1k. I dont get why Kawasaki have retained the analogue speedo. On a hyper tourer like that you need to be able to check your speed at a glance. There's so many numbers on that speedo that you couldn't do that.

Here is my favorite quote from the release:
"In 2011, the new 14R was announced by KMC japan to be the most POWERFUL and fastest accelerating production motorcycle on the planet....PERIOD!" Traps at 148, about 3-4 mph slower than our S1Krr in stock form.
