Gotta love them predictable left handers!!!
I just love the way these 14's turn 
Here's a video i shot of a fellow 14 rider (MDR aka Arsenio) over in ZX14.net touching the bodywork down on the last left hander going uo to "squid lookout" at the Rock store:

I almost wish he posted the real time video with audio , you can hear the side of the 14 dragging through the whole turn

Person posts pics and says "having a little fun" and everyone wants to debate them and validate their pics. Thats pretty funny.
Back when I lived in NC I saw riders corner their goldwing bikes so hard the floor boards would scrape and throw sparks in every curve. They were just having a little fun too. No biggie, no drama, no debates.
Sure the same rider can corner quicker with greater lean angles on the smaller more nimble bikes. Simple physics. What is there to debate?
And enagaging a debate whether the Hayabusa or a ZX14 makes a better knee-dragger or MotoGP track bike is weird. However, I am amused and enjoy the posts by the few Hayabusa guys that have inferiority complexes raging to the extent they must hide behind a false super-ego. Its pouring in FL or I'd be riding instead of babbling on in these threads like a

Fish you ain't the only one that can get his knee down. You just gotta be fearless.

Dude.................It's Fish!!!! I wouldn't matter if he won a MotoGp race we would rag his ass  It makes us feel better and he feels at home.....Things aren't always as they appear to be at first glance. Besides He's GAY anyway and everyone knows that he surely understands how to get down on his knees! The picture was just his way to convey this to the board.

So when the plastics are an inch off the ground, it's not much of a lean angle? What would it take to satisfy you, mirrors on the ground? :P
You can't just lean any bike over like that casually and have your knee on the ground...he did good, just fucking admit it...even if he is .
Angle is real, unless you think the pic was faked...

Here is one of my fake pics:
I used a block of wood and sandpaper to wear the fairing down - including a small hole.....also used it to sand my tires down and then filed the peg too :-)

Now why would you do that? Just give the bike to Fish and let him lean it down hard.

Nuke i know you have read Twisted words on the zx14 ....He has said it over and over that the 13.5 will not turn and that the bike is Kawisucker junk ...More than one has made the statement that the zx14 can't turn like the Busa...More than one Magazine writter has said it handles twistys Better that a Busa ..BUT one magazine writter reported it doesn't handle as good as the busa in the tight tuff... Funny the guys on the Busa site report only the bad write up and not the good reports..
Nuke i'm not talking about you, you seem to be very fare when you post on the Busa site about the zx14 ....

ninja, let me know if you need another lower, still got a NEW one for sale. Oh, and if you're as cool as me, you'll be able to lean it over all the way to the left upper/lower and clutch lever...
Yeah...185 miles and it was dropped on the left. Where's my little rainbow icon?

I'm not going to fix it..........just hang off more like I know I should have been...........
When it touched down it was so hard that it squeezed my foot between the bike and the road...........levering the bike enough to cause the rear tire to spin loose........it was a suprise :-)

All ? Having owned two Busas i can say the zx14 is better all they way around..Read my posts i never smack talk about Busas only some of the owners.. I loved the Busas i owned and in 08 if the Busa one ups the zx14 i will own one again...I'm not blindsided by brand names like some owners .. I buy what pleases me...So don't lump me in that ALL statement ...

Fish,
NICE!
....but I MUST KNOW.....
1. Did you have the flies removed?
2. If so, did you have it mapped?
3. If not, did you have a TRE?
4. If so, did you have it mapped?
5. If so, where?
6. If not, why?

Bike is bone-dead stock....
And I think the question is not "can the 14 turn"? as, obviously it can... but "can the rider turn the 14"?
