sick of it
sorry to let you down guys, but last friday i couldn't watch anymore. kawasaki lost my sale, got a busa for $9800.00 and had enough left over to grab some toys. if it's out and all they say it is, maybe there could be a possible trade next year when i can actually put my hands on one.

If you really mean that, then please let Kawasaki know at the highest level you can contact. Some lost sales might just provoke a reaction.

I can certainly relate---I have been to that point many times. I am thinking about buying a real nice crusier---something like a Honda 1800. I think if I buy a sport bike I will always be comparing it to the 14, if it ever does come out. With a crusier, you have one of the best and will not follow the 14 story through the year. Then next year you can decide between (maybe) an ungraded Superbusa or the (damn Kawasaki to hell) 14. If something definate does not happen this week, that is the plan.

I almost did that with my 12 in 2000... man was I unhappy, but the day I got my bike it was worth every single second!! and I sold my bike in September to put $ on the 12...
The bikes have got to show up!! any day now and you guys should be very happy with it...

Just say June if that's what its gonna be, but fuck the next friday stuff is getting outdated now... im stickin in till my birthday, if its not there then, im off on a busa.

That's exacatlly the problem I have with all of this. If Kawasaki would just come out---tell the truth and if the delivery date is June, so be it. Then, at least, all of us could decide if losing half the riding season, is worth the wait. This "any day now" is getting very thin. I know Gadson said "any day now" a month ago, so I guess he does not know either.

Pretty sure that there was never a date or time frame specified other than "April"... and I mean by KMC... not your local dealer.

...for those of you who have canceled your order: Tell Kawasaki what you have done and why....in the meantime its less for you and more for me...especially if you've canceled a black one....I hope they'll be a buncha black ones languishing in the showrooms....it'll give me more time to raise the funds to buy one...thank you

Honda doesn't give a shit, but Suzuki does and buying a Honda 1800 tub of lard instead of a 14 is the ultimate insult! Get it?

Easy you just don't ring right, nobody here would consider buying a Honda 1800 in place of a 14, maybe a 10, a Busa, or a GSX1000 But a Honda 1800? No fucking way, you might as well buy a Harley and wear a pink bandana on your head.
