they should continue with the twelve

I'm guessing that chop was done with MS Paint???

And what is it with you 12 owners? If they had called the ZX14 a ZX12, would you still be bitching? I own an '01 6, you don't hear me moaning about the newer 6's being ugly, or the 9's, or the, heaven forbid... 12's.

They just have feelings of inadequacy as they no longer have the biggest Kawasaki So they have to knock the ZX14.

No got me all wrong, I love the 14
It is just ugly (I thought I had covered why elsewhere)
NOW the NAKED 14 that IS bEueatYful, (bar the underseat exhaust).
This bike has the 14's front, if Che doesnt mind me hijacking it I will post what I mean, but I dont have Che's talents so dont be too harsh
The 10's front is sweet, but the 14 is a tourer, this is a pic of a 14R so make it sporty, not in need of a wide load sign. (not that there is anything wrong with that).

And my bike has never been about big dick either
I bought cause I got it cheap (but not as cheap as some)
It monos bueat, the 14 hadnt come out, I had the cash etc.
Anyone who has seen me knows I ride it like it should be to the limit (and beyond unfortunately) of my ability and common sense dictates.
ahem
BUT others bought them for different reasons and you will have to take it up with them.

All I mean is IMAGINE this with a RAPTOR type front on it like all the rest instead of a fish !!!
Then it would be as it should.
I dont want it like a 12, I want it BETTER than a 12.
Does that cover everything?

Now lets understand I am NOT looking for a 10 14 vs 12 argument.
been there, done that, WHEN was the 12 designed again each to there own but have a look and see what I mean.



We are ALL still waiting for the ZX14R

My piss poor attempt to follow...

Be gentle it was quick and with Paintbrush
But HOPEFULLY you will get the drift
Its not about 12's, its about our flagship looking half decent

Now, obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and don't get me wrong, I love the 12... but, IMHO, the 14 single handedly made the 12 look old and outdated.

I got in first Aardy
BUWAHAHAHA
I had already agreed with you BEFORE you posted


Sorry mate withdrawls from riding ... pity me

Where do i get one.

Froggy, send that to kwaka and tell em that this is what we want .

If the 14 was as sports orientated as that i'd of already bought one.

The 14 is a more updated look, but it has simply gone off in a different direction than what i want out of a bike.

Do ya reckon that next years 14 will have a shorty pipe ?

hmmm... (looks into crystal ball and rubs chin sagely)
The days of the underseat have gone.
How can any company preach mass centralisation and put a big heavy pipe up in the worst possible spot?
(Oh and look at the Gp and the ER6 )
Mind you a Micron ultralite weighs .9 of a kg...

(anyone ever heard of Maharashi Fatbarstard ?)

Inadequacy? Not at all..... Now I can't wait for the zx18 or 19 to come out
