Obviously Stevewfl, certain things I have said seemed to ignite the inner-flamer in you, but you missed my point all together. Perhaps I did not think out my post well enough to make it as clear as it could be, and for that I apologize. What rudebwoy was referring to is basically the same place I am coming from. The reason I joined this forum is because the majority of people in here appear extremely knowledgeable about bikes. I think it is a terrific place to learn, talk, live and breathe the 14, but this thread is more like bashing an individual because of his "type". Since no one has yet to have a bit of concrete evidence that this guy absolutely cannot ride, and the only thing we have to go on is a single MAXIM magazine shoot, it brings to the light certain intolerances that just isn't cool.
I was not disputing that forums should not be opinionated, nor did I want to get into a big "Freedom of Speech" debate about it. I thought ZX14.com was a place people could come to feel welcome, and talk about things without having to be subjected to hatred. Other forums yes. I've seen that garbage other parts of the web but I did not expect it here.

He's just there to show his bling teefs next to a bling bike
That remark was just blatantly crude. If everyone in this forum thinks what I am saying is a bunch of crap then so-be-it. I will cower back into the corner like a good little newbie, and read through the threads in a quiet manner. But I am not saying we need to walk on broken glass, but this was deliberate and for that I am troubled.
Take it easy man, this is the Internet! You didn't "ignite an inner flame" in me, and as far as my comments, hopefully you don't take me serious at all (this is the Internet) 
Let's not hijack the thread with this and that about me, lets discuss the topic of Ludi and the blingahblingbling Zx14

I don't know how to take you Steve, you started the thread and have expressed your opinions about him and the bike, but you don't want us to take you seriously, "this is the Internet" The Internet Steve is the only Steve I know, either you mean what you post or not. It's OK to post what you are really feeling, I'll respect you.
I guess that's why I won't post a picture of me next to my bike, not that my bike is blinged or anything, it's just that I resemble Luda' in many ways. I'll just hide behind my screen name, "ZXHOYA", we're all the same in this format, BIKE LOVERS.

That's what I am saying zxhoya, and maybe I have been "over-sensitive" in some things around here, but living in the Palm Beaches I see so much garbage and prejudice that I get a bit on edge at times. A person not wanting to hang with someone solely because they are different really peeves me, but the bike world is such a great equalizer. A safety zone. You go to a club (by my house) and many of the people fall into their own clicks and snub you if you are not at the right weight, or speak the right way, but when you go to the bike hang-outs everyone is the same. The only color you see is the colors of your custom job. I just hate hatred! And I do not believe in the "reverse racism" garbage... racism is racism whether it is against blacks, whites, Asians, Spanish or what have you. You shouldn't be ashamed of whom you are. I like everyone here and I want everyone to feel as comfortable as I do. We can do the smack talk and step on some toes without actually crushing feet, right? I look forward to seeing some pictures of you and your bike, zxhoya. If you have gold fronts then smile wide. If you wear a sweater around your neck then just make sure you do not lose it at 178mph!!! It's all good. But please leave the picture of the blue-haired hottie for your screen picture... that chick is bangin'.... blazin'.... uh bumpin'? Ah Hell, you get my drift.

I agree 100% Ninja, some of the best people I have met in my life have been bikers of all races and gender. I agree with you on every aspect of your post, keep it up.
OK, I'm off to the mall to shop for some gold fronts and a matching sweater. lol

If we knew how much Ludi got paid for his posing with the blinguh bike, we'd prolly all agree we are slightly upset with him ?

I'm inclined to agree with you there Steve, my brother wants the Ducat 1098S and I tell him he can have 2 bikes for that much. He tells me it's his money.
His last bike, RC51, was wrecked by a friend and he misses it so much. For 20k he could have an RC51 and CBR1000 or 600 just for the track.

Guys, check the credits on the bottom of the first page of the ad. I shot the inset photos thus being privy to the details of the complete deal. The bottom line: It's Kawi's ad, running in two major mags for two months. Roaring Toyz did the bike for Kawi and it was presented to the celeb. What the celeb does with the bike is his business. I assure you RT is not passing the bill onto their customers. Nothing has changed. We're all 14 fans and riders. I jsay just enjoy the bike; it is a master piece. Its totally rideable; not a showroom queen. Hope this helps.

Well i'm glad to know that... So i can say KHI has sold me their last bike... Simply cause i know they gave a free upgraded bike to a celeb and we the customers foot the bill...When we the customers have to fight with dealers and KHI to get a simple warranty work done.... On a side note RT still have nothin for me

Are you serious 1bad? You've bought your last bike from Kaw because they gave a bike to someone you don't like. You paid your 11k+ for the product, not for what Kaw chooses to do with their profits. I could see if Kaw was using their profits to fund drug trafficking or something, but giving a bike to a celeb!?
What if Kaw had a free giveaway and you won, would you decline out of concern for the consumer "footing the bill", I don't think so. Unbelievable. You have purchased your last vehicle of any kind under those demands.

Too much shiny. The current one is much better... and there is something about the blue wig that gets me! Maybe I am having some kind of Smurfette infatuation issues.
