I think that zx14 is like a busa. A heavy beast! Not really a sport bike anymore. If you like cruising just straight lines, go for the kawi. Otherwise, go for the Honda

just my opinion, but the kawasaki zx14 is a battle tank, heavy , powerful and great for long trips, the cbr 1000rr is all about buisness, your riding style should dictate your decision, not looks or anything else, unless your rich...buy both, but i think you cant go wrong with a honda.

the 08 1000RR is hands down the best bike in EVERY way I have EVER ridden.. Enjoy the hell out of it. there's no way I'd take a turd like the zx14 over it.

The 14 and Hayabusa are quite capable cornering bikes. It's a bad stereotype to assume they only do well going in a straight line.

i agree aken, i was very much able to corner with the busa and the power in a straight line was addicting.. not to mention super comfortable on a long ride but id still rather take a 929/954/1krr over it.. hell maybe even try a rc51 or an 1100xx (blackbird)

to the OP did ya get it yet ?
