ZX14 vs ZX12r Street Use ?
I've got an 02 ZX12R with 18,000 miles, full Muzzy, PC3r, stock suspension, Puig double bubble, and heli bars. I don't race, only street use, hot rodding around town and a few weekend, or longer, trips during the summer. I'm trying to decide whether to do some suspension mods to the 12, and possibly a big bore over the winter, or pick up a low mileage 07 14 now and sell the 12 in the spring.
Does anyone have experience with both bikes on the street and provide some evaluation feedback about your experience?
The ZX14 feels like a much more refined machine, but other than that, which one handles better, brakes better, etc?

The 14 is sure better...In everyway...Smoother, faster, more comfortable especially for 2 up riding, Suspension, torquier motor...
Actually the 12 is better in 1 way...LOOKS...

I am in awe!
Just picked up an 07 14 with 5300 miles. Far exceeds my expectations. I can't believe the torque. The handling deifies the size. The bike is like brand new. Immaculate!
I love my 12, but it might be for sale come spring.
