anybody got the white zx-14?
Saw it in person the other day...it doesnt look bad at all IMO. I wouldnt say no to owning it, and isnt white easier to hide dust, scratches, etc.
Any of you guys got the whie? Any regrets?

I thought it was so ugly from internet pictures....I got to see it in person 2 weeks ago at the dealer and I fell in LOVE with it. Pictures don't do it justice. Only thing I don't like is the maroon foreman grills, they should've made those white too.

I saw it today and thought it was ugly as hell, and so did the group of 11 people that were with me, not a one of them liked it.

When I went and picked up my black 07 in november, they had a white one and I thought it was fugly. I liked the white, but hated all the red on it. Solid white with black grills and silver wheels would look nice, I think.

Personally I would think that white would be the absolute worst color to keep clean if you do any serious mileage on the bike. First encounter with road work and new tar and the honeymoon would be over. Also, the red contrast is too harsh IMO.

I saw it in person, and it looks much better than on the Internet. I'm not crazy about flames for myself, but the bike looked good

To each his own, they should have just put a rainbow sticker on it to top it off.

my dealership painted the rims and foremans. Much better, they left the flames on, but they are removeable though.

Flames just decals, so I can apply a little dryer heat and peel right?

yes, flames are removeable, the 'kawasaki' on the tank is clearcoated.

white is much easier to keep clean than a darker color.
