ZX14: WOO HOO, factory stroker!!!!
ENOUGH of the fugly perspective; what's important to me is hp and the capability to get more!!
(I'm with Bossman on this issue  )
........................bore...stroke
stock ZX12....83.0 55.4
ZX12 1270....85.4 55.4
ZX12 1375....85.4 60.0
ZX12 1427....87.0 60.0
stock ZX14....84.0 61.0
stock Busa....81.0 63.0
I am interested in 3 things which I haven't seen posted:
1. ZX14's limiter rpm
2. "meat" between the cylinders; how much can this thing be bored out???
3. dry weight
I am a bit concerned that the cutaway pix seem to show that the upper case/cyl block are one piece, which MIGHT imply a tight cyl-to-cyl spec a la ZX10.
Overall, it looks to me like Kwak DID listen to the marketplace noting that Busas out sell 12's at least 10:1, and gave us a bike more Busa-like: longer, lo rpm hp (stroker).
Only thing that REALLY pisses me off is that they didn't ditch that FUKKEN monocoque abortion of a frame and tank cover. Worst fukken idea for a street bike since the Harley emblem 
PS: hydraulic clutch pisses me off also grrrrrrrrrrrr...

I would have lost money because I was betting on a frame like the ZX10, Looking at the cut away, it looks like they have either thinned out the frame (More Likely) or shrunk / lowered the engine because the space between the frame and the engine look more tolorable.
Think of it this way, as ugly as it is, it still is not a Fugly as the Busa and if it runs circles around the Busa then I say what I say to my friends, NEVER GO TO BED WITH AN UGLY WOMAN! They know that this is their only chance and you will never have it better until the lights come on. I speak from experience here (I even had ex -girl friends call to complain that I was making them look bad. She understood when I had to cut her loose and told me what the problem was)
SO Do not Ride this bike or watch someone whupp a serious Busa because you will be tempted

Pretty sure everyone will make up their mind (love or hate) once a few of these hit the dyno and or the track and results start popping up on the innerweb.
