Um, okay. I may have to e-mail it to you though, as I have problems with picture hosting (first site I used banned me for using Bikeland-watermarked pics, and the second one, I already used up all my bandwidth for the month having already purchased the highest level of use short of unlimited, and unlimited would cost me $120 per year.)
It's an interesting question. I have done the same in the past for the 12 vs the 10 and it's surprising how close the 10 is to the 12 in terms of the room available, closer than the impression I got from sitting on the bike. (Of course, riding for an extended time is the real way of getting an answer but not always possible.) I'd think combining objective, the actual positions of the seat bar and pegs, with subjective, how it seems in the showroom, is probably better than the sitting test alone so the overlay could be good info.

Well, at least the good news in the delay (again, I'm sorry I took so long) is that at least the image hosting service has entered a new month, so more bandwidth is available again, so Fish doesn't have to do it though he generously offered.
The logic of the overlays is that the scale is made virtually identical as judged by front rim size. Both bikes are aligned for same ground level. For horizontal alignment, rather than making the front wheels equal, I decided to make the seat/tank junction about equal, so rider position is about equal. In order from heavier ZX-14 to equal to heavier ZX-10R:
