Hey thanks Fish. You sure seem to have some inside scoop. These are the first 2007 model pics I have seen anywhere.

That white with flames is horrible. I mean, gouge-my-eyes-out-with-a-stick horrible.
I also think it signifies that the current 14 is going to be the sport model for quite some time to come. No "14R" anytime soon.

Sorry but I like them as well. It makes the bike instantly recognisable.

I like 'em, too. The first pics I saw of the pre-prod bikes I instantly fell in love and told my riding buddies, "I'm gettin' one!" Like A-model 12's, they might not be pretty but the don't look like anything else. Purpose-built and not making any excuses.
FWIW, I don't care for the white/flamed 14, like the new blue one, and the new wheel colors. I'm also one of the few, apparently, that likes the '06 wheels, and I'm very happy with the way my '06 looks with a few $'s in pinstripe tape for accent. The Ninja stickers would have to go if I had an '07, and the Kawasaki lettering on the tank doesn't seem to work, either. I think it looks fine on the '06 and mine will stay. At least they did away with the cheesy '06 Ninja badge on the tail - like I did.

The white with flames is gruesome especially the grill painted red making it stand out even more. They shoulda flamed the black one like 10R. I prefer my 06 Blue with black bottom kinda breaks it up now seems to much blue. Wtf is with putting KAWASAKI on the tank? Glad i got my 06. But definitely will be checking out the GTR14 and hope the offer a trunk too.

No offense but this is just plain ugly. It looks very cheesy, elementary and not professional kinda like the silver 06 ZX6R with the red stick on flames that you buy in the quarter machine at K-Mart. MAYBE it will grow on me. I can hear the Busa fans now. Kawasaki just gave them some ammo.

I figured
No problem, I understand. We did a great ride. We went to Ybor then out on 41 then over the Skyway then back to the Causeway. What a great and fast ride. We have to do it again next week you included.

I was really hoping for a green 14.
I guess I'll save some $ and get a
2006.
That white really looks bad.

That white bike is darn near embarrassing.
I could deal with a 2 color white and black scheme, but red? and flames? Ugh.
