I likey, don't know about the kermit green though, it looks heaps better then the Busa, whichever colour!
About the only thing I did not like was the look of the exhaust pipes, but they can be easily changed, can't they?

Anybody can beat Ricky Gadson - no one ever taught him to take corners

Hey Shadow, I don't think they have corners in th US, just take a look at the cars that are made there about the only decent handling car from the US is the latest corvettes, the z06 I think it is called.

Interesting vid.

The thing that impressed me the most was the way the guy got the bike out of the van without binning it

The most annoying thing was, he called them 'sports bikes'. Sports bikes live on race tracks and twisty roads, not drag strips. Now a really interesting experiment would be to see what is the smallest cc bike that can beat them both around a race track.

The Kwaka beats the Suzuki hands down, both in the acceleration and the looks department. The Busa has always been Fugly, now you can ride a hyperbike without the need for a bike cover

You can't corner a drag tyre, so a Honda 90 Cub with a back delivery box ?

i nearly bin my bike pishing it up a 1" bump in the garage.

nearly had one of these new,, had to slate it, and free finance, and g.a.p. and all the shizzle..

binned the idea after a few days, as any kawasaki depreciates so bad here, and didn't want to burden the bills coming in with current recession.

my bird is mine,, all mine.

but i have rode the older 09 zzr1400,,,,, and it's gotta be said. .. . ..
i liked it so frekin much... beautiful feel and lovely ride.
well finished.

The ZX14R is a beast and looks like the HULK in the green color. 1441cc wow that is huge. Glad to see the Busa dethroned. Come on Honda where is your bike. Let Honda build a modern Hurricane with 1400 plus cc's, that is what we need.
