Maybe..............and maybe not. According to recent reports, the release date has been *delayed* until MID-2006, as the Big K want to make sure that they release the most powerful version of the *several* that have been tested to this point.......

and I will *cheerfully* admit that is gladdens me no end to see this demo clip with the CORRECT title of ZZR-1400. You will never see me refer to this model as anything other than the ZZR1400 which it most clearly is. Big, fast comfortable T-O-U-R-I-N-G bike, as per its predecessor, the ZZR1200.

It is not and never will be a ZX14, if it was a ZX then where is the 'R' which designates S-P-O-R-T-S ?????????????? Using ZX is just a marketing ploy designed to trade upon the sporting name that all ZX-R models have, because they are in fact sports bikes, not tourers............

imho of course :wink:

Mhm. Never mind that North America has always had the R-less ZX designation all along, in the minds of too many people, a big battering-ram of a Kawasaki needs to be a ZZ-R.

Was in Cosway's today....

Good news for ZX12-R owners...

They have just recieved a 2006 ZX12-R... Production on ZX12-R's will continue AT LEAST through 2006....

Also, Cosway's refer to the ZX14 as a ZZR14...

Nice to know the dealers realise what is going on...

?????? What gives you this idea ?? All the American sites and magazines etc, refer to ZX-12R, ZX-10R, ZX-9R etc etc, just the same as they do here ?? There is no difference whatsoever in model designations......

Yes balanse, I am very much into the letter thing.... :lol: it just urks me that the replacement for the ZZR1200 (itself a fantastic motorcycle for its designed application) has somehow tagged itself like a leech, or a chancre on a camels arse, to the ZX-R series. Its like saying the new ZZR600 is a *replacement* for the ZX636-R, which it most clearly is not.

:D

Actually... you are wrong, the americans actually have the 01/02 design of the ZX6-R as their ZZR600.... so there... ..

Also, the ZZR600's they call the ZX6 - IK is right.
They've distinguished models using the 'R' where we have a differnt name (ZZR vs ZXR)

so where does that leave the ZX9-R, ZX10-R and ZX12-R ?? The Yanks may have changed 1 year model designation for the ZX6, but that still leaves a whole lot of other models that use the 'R' designation in both countries, not 'R'-less as stated.......... :roll:

They're called Ninja's :lol: :lol:

But seriously, it's pretty simple. They have ZX6R, ZX10R, ZX12R, ZX12, ZX14, ZX6...we have ZX6R, ZX10R, ZX12R, ZZR1200, ZZR1400, ZZR600


....or something like that anyway :roll:
