ZX-14 Wins CycleWorld's Best Open Streetbike for 2006
I haven't ridden one yet, but it doesn't surprise me considering all the positive comments I've been hearing. Ironically they think the low speed restriction is a positive attribute.
From July CycleWorld:
"It may seem strange that a bike offering nearly 200 horsepower has taken this category in lieu of being named Best Superbike.
While the new flagship Ninja - capable of sprinting the quarter-mile quicker than any production bike we've ever tested - certainly meets the criteria of a landmark Superbike, it's this machine's more docile side that has made it our choice of best overall large-caliber streetbike of the year.
Through the magic of black-box mapping, the low-rev power delivery of this King Kong Kawi has been tamed to a level that even an average rider can command
And like King, the 14 is surprisingly agile within it's weight class, making it at ease in the urban jungle and on the open road.
All this and savage acceleration when there's a need to show teeth."

No real surprise there. Great bike.
The low-end mess has pretty well been covered. For a mass-marketing scheme, it makes good sense. For me, roll-ons are too important, and fun, for street riding.
Love the bike, though.
