    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Being a lifelong suzuki guy it was tough to decide between the Busa and 14 but a sweet deal came up on a new 13 zx14 and after a test spin on one last year there was a serious grin factor. The wife has her triumph triple and her old honda and I will keep my restomod 1100e.
 
Those 14's are bada$$, can't wait for Suzuki to come out with it's next generation motor to compete! The 1340 is getting a little long in the tooth! :D
 
So that is why the SOLD sign was on the bike........one way of keeping the show goers off the bike....

LOL

Congrats

Nice bike. They do seem big in person. I'm sure they feel agile as soon as you start moving.

I have a friend at work who had an 06 he picked up used. Guy is very anal and would swear he could hear something when the bike was idling. We had about four knowledgeable bike folks standing around his bike and he would say "There it is can you hear that? No one could hear anything other than normal mechanical noises.

He sold it fearing it was going to fail after a month of ownership. He bought an 01 Bandit as a replacement which started burning oil shortly after he bought it.

Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

My buddy red has an 01 bandit that ran great till one start was smoking like a trooper. He did some research and says they were problematic that year. Live and learn.
 
Welcome to a brother ZX14 owner. Check out our forum, tons of ways to spend your money.

Not hard to get 200 horses out of her.
A drag bike ready for the strip. Does not corner well since it is so long.
 
I'd like to have one once-in-a-while - just to terrorize the local dragstrip, plus to wind it up and see what 200mph looks like :D
 
She's home

She's home

Rode her home today. Beautiful day for a spin. Ripped off those ghastly mufflers as soon as it was home and installed a two brothers black slipons. They look great but a little poppy for me on deceleration. It accelerates smartly and rides real nice. I think I am gonna like this one.

That's putting it mildly, isn't it?

From the March 2012 Cycle World:

"Everything else is officially slow."

And:

"Kawasaki makes no apologies. 'We want the 14R to be the fastest, hardest-accelerating production bike in the world.' Read any equivocation in that?"
