looks good.
1400cc in a naked, lets hope they get it right and make it tough looking.
If they do this will dominate the naked category and take on the Suzi B-king when it comes out.
I'll wait a couple of years till the price comes down and I outgrow ZRX12, if It can be outgrown?
Cool!
Why don't they have the bike come out with fairings to put on and take off as desired, so really have the zzr1400/zx14 and the Z1400 as one transformer bike, it is not a new idea but I suppose that would be asking too much.
I think the engines might be tuned differently. A milder cam timing & slightly smaller exhaust ports might be present, which would lend itself to a better midrange at a sacrifice at the top end....
But then again it is a frigging 1.4 litre bike & would have gob fulls of torque anyway.

I'd suggest that if such a beast existed it would slot in between the Z1000 and the MT-01. No doubt tuned less for top end and more for bucketloads of low-down torque.Regardless.. I want.
Get this - not one of the guys at the local dealers had heard about this bike (I didn't get to ask the boss.... ) - but they all seemed pretty *surprised*
wonder if it has that poxy 4-4 setup sorry all you guys with stock NM Z1000's (NM - New Millenium - just so we don' t get it confused with a *real* Z1000 ) - but I just get quite an ill feeling when I see those *standard* 4-4's.........its just not cricket old bean.......
".....shut the gate on this one Maxie......it's the ducks guts !!............."
Aren't they like 4-2-4s or 4-1-4s or something? Anyway I kinda liked em, but as always number one priority with a new bike is to get a better exhaust system on it.
I like the idea of a Z1400, if it is true it is good to see Kwaka bringing out a bunch of new bikes, despite the flogging they cop for it here!
