2012 ZX14-R 1441cc

Sat Sep 17, 2011 9:27 pm

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)

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

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!

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.
