ZX-14 in Sunny Florida
Nope not a fucking one here, and personally I think they screwed the pooh again on this deal. I own a Medical and Scientific Cryogenics business and if I dick-ed around with my customers like KWAK my phone would ring 24/7 with pissed off people.
This bullshit release date is a joke, first I was told face to face by Kawasaki March 15th, then on the site it said April, now it says Spring of 06, oh lets not forget the letter that says they where released last week.
What it seems like is they probably had maybe fifty bikes to release, maybe to pacify the masses, which has backfired on them. Rumors spread rapidly when you make a statement and don't fulfill, so Kawasaki if your getting some heat you deserve it !!!
Or maybe they just don't care.

No word here either. It's always "next week". My dealer still does not know when they are supposed to arrive. The riding season is here. If they can't say or deliver soon It's time to turn up the heat and really start bitching. I don't give a shit if if won't do any good. They should have some respect for their customers instead of leading them on with B.S. release dates.

One other thing that SUCKS ASS is the letter stated one bike per dealer, and if do any reading its plain to see, dealers out west are getting multiple bikes. This shows you that they have been BULLSHITTING from day one.

I'm not going to sweat it anymore........they get here, when they get there. I still have my SV 650 to ride.
For those of you that are bikeless because you sold your other ride, your situation does suck and I can feel your pain!
Getting really twisted about it is pointless, no one in Kawasaki really cares.
The bottom line for me is there is not another bike I really want other than the '14, so I'll wait it out.
By the way though Kawasaki, riding season is done by the end of October in northern Alberta.............

Its said that everyone really started hating Kawasaki for the way they have handled their release.. I guess Kawasaki doesn't care at all... Well they are loosing customers and die hard ones at that... Your digging your own grave kawasaki.. And you fucking deserve it!

Drowland has a point here. Like the rest of you i'll wait cause I got nothing better to do, though I can see how this would piss people off a bit more than usual. I've always said that these machines should have been at the dealers and ready tp sell by 15 Mar 06.

I swung by the dealership up here in WA. The local one doesn't have one yet. But when they do get one, I'm gonna go by the dealership with enough folding green in my hand to buy it outright. I'll have one of the salesmen hold the camera and get a pic of me flipping you whiney bitches off. And then I'll gather the benjamins up and walk the fuck out.

Jimp,
I'm in the same boat. I can hear it now (there he goes again). I was told that dealers will be getting notices starting Tuesday on the east coast. I would think Florida would be line to be first on the list but I've been given more wrong info than right so I'll go with a 40 percent chance of being correct Tuesday. I was hoping to be riding the blue beauty (nick-naming her "Jumba") to NC on Saturday. Matt I told you I've been iching to ride and I hope I will be able to break her in right. Oh Boy Oh boy it's got to be getting close now.....Right.

...blame the dealers for stringing you guys along with whatever they've told you instead of saying "We don't know."....you're grown men...nobody twisted your arm to put a deposit on it or pay it in full before delivery and nobody's twisting your arm to buy one either...sheeeeesh, such drama for nothing

I be the drama king. No if we go back a month or so a go my dealer actually had the gull to tell me they will be here by Saturday. Well 4 Saturdays later I've not only not heard from him, but people on the west coast have theirs. While some people are riding their new beast every where I'm stuck here with 2 kid wishing I could just get away for a while. thinking. and yes crying a little. OK a lot.

Drama for nothing?? Well, maybe but if your builder told you your new house would be ready for occupancy on March 15 and now is now and he is still not finished, how would you feel about the guy? Do not tell me you would send him a thank you note and tell him not to worry about it.
