ZZR1400 Limited Edition (White) + ZZR1400 GP (Green) And More!
I was doing a little research and stumbled across this japanese site. It seems to be legit. They listed them as Kawasaki models. The white said Limited Edition and the green said GP model. If you look at the one photo there is an orange one and a dark pink. And on the white one it looks like it says limited on the front fender. But it might just be that ABS embolem. Maybe they are one of a kind demos. I'm not sure what the deal is but here they are.

I would have loved the option to buy white... If they make it with that silver foreman grill, I wonder how that silver would look on red...

I have always thought silver graphics look really good on red.

hard to tell, could be totally wrong but it seems as though from the link that those color options are not factory but custom options from an aftermarket place, and that it's from 2006

That's what I thought but if you look at the photo with the orange one. It seems to be a Kawasaki section at a motorcycle show. Look at the sign behind the girls it is that ad with the Blue 14. So I don't know just thought it was interesting. And even if they are just for the show who is making a limited edition ??? The white one has an embolem on the fender,I think different color fins,and white mirrors. I guess we will see very soon 9/06.

Usually I don't like white bikes but the 14 looks surprisingly good in white.

That's what I was thinking.
A white LE? I hope not. That would be a direct ripoff of the 06 Hayabusa LE.
Please tell me Kawasaki is more original than that.
Not knocking the white. I generally don't like white on anything, but I thought the White/Silver Busa was the best looking ever!
MHO.

It seems these are coming from MSL Motor Sports Life. Here is the GP Model. They even have a jacket with the green GP smoking the tire on it. It is in the options photo. Check out some of the options you can have.
Looks like you can order these models including the white limited. I guess they are like an aftermarket companys such as AMG or Rentech unless it's just paint. One of the options on the other photo is Zenons. I just installed mine what a difference. With a 14 stock next to mine with zenons it looks like the stock lights are piss yellow. They just now added relays to the H11's which brought the price up. Because people were complaining that the bulbs were burning out. I think they are about $70 a bulb. The kit I have connects to the stock Kawi harness which is nice. And the relays and ballast have double sided tape and fit nicely in the front cowling. But in that photo it looks like they did the all 4. At first I thought they were a waste of money. Then my boy put them in his red 14. Even just parked it looks so much different. Although the 14's lights are the best I've ever had. After using the zenons I will never go back. So now i feel they were worth every penny.

Here it is converted to english (thanks countersteer) so just scroll down to the bottom of the page. You will see the white limited edition is a run of 100 units. Also the green GP 14. They have their 2005 custom GP specification ZX-10R above the 14's and other bikes.

I don't know, take a look at this page. Definitely looks likes a custom shop (like Lingenfelter) where you can order options on a new bike and a color scheme as a factory limited edition. Look at the black/gold on this page, too.

I think most people by now relize that it is an aftermarket company I would hope. If you go to MSL's site in english as I posted it you won't believe the list of employees they have. This one lady is called a motorcycle life adviser lol. I bet if you called them you could talk them out of some info. Maybe even a few side shots of the GP14 for you to work the scheme from. If you are going to do it then order that GP jacket so you will be motivated.
I'm sure it will look hot. Who would you allow to do that paint work for you ?? Good luck if you do it I'm still trying to get my blue to fly again.
