they're not posting because they are riding.

There are only one or two people who "claim" to have taken delivery so far... so your request is only valid for a very small group of people at this point.
I am still being told that my dealer expects my bike tomorrow (several others have been told the same thing, so it's got a little more credibility than the old "end of April" line). *IF* I get my bike tomorrow or Saturday, I will definitely post a pic as soon as possible.
Otherwise, I'll be eating crow and sitting on the sidelines waiting some more...

Did your dealer say he's getting a blue one or just that he's getting a 14 in?
My dealer says they do not know what colors will be shipped to them. They will know when they get in the Chicago warehouse. The time frame he gave me was 7-10 days for the first two. After that it's back to the "who knows" phase. I have my fingers and toes crossed for a blue one to ship. If not I'm SOL for quite some time probably.

Took delivery of a black 14 yesterday from Burnaby Kawasaki in Burnaby British Columbia. It has been raining somewhat here, so there are only about 50km on it so far.

Me thinks if my bike does not show up by Tuesday that Kawasaki has shit on there face again. According to the letter they stated that one unit per dealer will be released this week, so by Tuesday I should see mine.

My guess is that the pics that fish posted of a guy taking delivery of his black 14 at Burnaby is actually timmy12r. True timmy?
Might this be you?

That's it. I will post some better pictures when I get a home tonight. I rode it to work today. Very, very smooth and much better fit and finish than any other previous Kawasaki's that I have owned. It certainly was worth the wait.

That's good to hear, I think Kawi has always suffered a little in the fit & finish categories when compared to others like Honda. Hopefully they have got their act together on this bike.
Keep us posted on your experiences with it - most of us are still waiting for our 14's to arrive, so any news is good news

Bob thanks for the last pick of you with the bike maybe polishing her up. Being 5 foot 4 inches tall, I now remember why I fit this bike so well. It's always nice to know my bike is just a little faster than most, (he-he) not only am I short, I weigh 155 lbs 8^).
