Delays confirmed
The freighter that transported the 14's had problems while unloading the containers in San Diego at the terminal. The ships owner from Hamburg said they are working to recover the containers from the water.

NEWS FLASH: I hear this was a shipment of the new Kawasaki 2006 STX®-15F JET SKI and they just have been subjected to hydrostatic submerge test. Apparently, it is a standard random test procedure.

it's ok, those are all bikes bound for vancouver (BC) and Seattle, and thus by necessity are specially prepared to withstand extending periods of submerging.

That's only a 45 degree lean angle. Wouldn't have thought it would bother a 14.

I can attest from riding it in Daytona.....it corners quite well even with a stiff wind.

The 12R was a way better handling bike than the Haybusa; I cant imagine the ZX14 not being way better tham the 12R in that respect either.
