USA, April 16th. "exacting inspection process"
UK, April 19th. "restructuring of production"
These are quotes from Kawasaki itself. Don't really talk to each other do they ?
Any more genuine quotes out there, we might as well amuse ourselves while we wait.

Something about the Flux-capacitor firing before it got to 1.21 Gigawatt.

The problem was that the new flux capasitor¨
It requires 188mph,
but the limiter stops at 186mph

Yes, it's really going to mean something in the future... I'm glad we're getting an archive of it.

It's official right from the source. There is a full frontal fairing change. It's very technical, and the term going around is called "Episiotonic Supersonic." That's all I know?

Just read this...... If you must know Kawasaki has a transmission problem with the 14 that requires every unit to have the motor removed and a gear replaced. I'll wait for a later production unit please or an 07..... Tis the reason for all the long hours being put in by Kawasaki

Whats wrong with the zx14s .. info inside,,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just got back from my local kawi dealer in St Petersburg fla .... He called kawi today while i was there and asked what the hold up is ..... Kawi said the under sides of the gas tanks didn't get painted , so they are uncrating the bikes and painting them..... I also had him go on his dealer web site and see what was going on with the zx14 .... It showed he had two ordered but no release date .... A memo was shown that the zx14s where to be released April, but that all it said ....My dealer has been checking his dealer web site every day Because he is waiting for the zx14 as well as other bikes he ordered ...His show room is kind of empty right now ...
