Will be announced on 10/10/2011. Been a lot of hype around the internet for a little while now, so this news isn't exactly brand new, but this is the first video that affords a good glimpse of the bike. Looks like they are finally replacing the 12R (sif the plain 14 qualifies!) Also confirms it'll be 1441cc (84mm squared * Pie/4 * 65mm * 4)

Replacing the 12R?

Never! But seems they've been listening and plumped for a proper sports bike.

Ah you mean they are making it a real Ninja with an "R" again, not another ZZR..

and it would wanna loose some weight too.

ZX14 is 215kg dry as opposed to my old 2001 ZZR1100 at 235kg dry,
chuck it round like a 600

12R's are not exactly light either being a slight few kegs over a 14

Looks more like a Green Lantern Promo than a bike ad!

Cool ads, there's a bunch of them

That Bandit is leaving an impression, wait till you ride a 14, you will want to trade both your bikes for one

Currently 2am in Orlando Florida where the big reveal will take place (5pm Sydney time).

I guess it'll be revealed sometime after 8am... so from 11pm tonight.

Ahem....

No supercharger.

Remember, you saw it here first.
