Hehe yer right, :lol:

But can we say anything and not be seen as defensive?
Yes, I believe it would be "Damn, Kawasaki have replaced my bike with a better one, however, I'm happy with mine, so I'm going to keep it because it's not worth as much now."
I don't see it as better having ridden both, better for KHI advertising for having "the worlds most powerful production bike" IMO

I think the updates and variant models when/if they come on the 14 will be the decider for me. :wink:

Hang on, it was .6 extra HP that mine made and its obviously due to the fact its green.....
The much faster 04 green that is, as the 05 green isn't quite as fast...

Well.. I just checked in at the kawasaki head quarters, what they thought about the twelve, accouple of the engineers wanted to keep it in, with some slight changes.

They were kind enough to send me a sketch of what they were going to mod on it before crapping it for the _better_ zx14

C'mon boys,

the world knows that the D model 1100 was the best Kwakka ever made. Everyone also knows that the 05 10 metallic spark black was the fastest colour.

Anyone who had any sense at all would own a metallic spark black D model 1100.

(Now theres an idea) :idea: :idea: :idea: :twisted:
