ZX-14 On "5th Gear"

Tiff and vicki take the Big Zed out for a "see who chickens out first" speed run. They could have gone faster but they are mostly car buffs. Interesting spot at the 5:35 mark when tiff gets on the brakes. Bike acts and sounds like it has a ABS System on it (though i didn't notice no ABS badging on the bike, they do have such a version over there yes?). I may be wrong though. Just thought i'd share.

What the fuck??? I cant believe those 2 get any camera time. I thought it was going to get good when the chickie started leaving black marks... but it was a total disappointment.

It's worth bearing in mind that neither of these presenters are bikers, they are both quite good in cars though, Tiff has a fine track record of racing all kinds of car and Vicki was an instructor at one of the race schools, I believe, so they do have credentials.
As for their prowess at riding the 14, ok so they weren't much good but at least they gave it some air time and didn't bad-mouth motorycyling like Jeremy Clarkson does constantly on the UK 's other car show, the BBC's programme Top Gear.

Clarkson bad mouths everything that isn't British, lucky he isn't adopted. His shows were good, but that's all in the past now...

Yes, that's a non-ABS bike, guess he was just playing with the brakes. Brits didn't get the ABS version for 06.
