Hey i don't want no slipper clutch !!!!!! Bab Bad for drag racing ....Just ask the Busa guys ...lol... ZX14 has the best clutch out there ...Everything else will be good ...

One thing for sure steve the 08 will see some changes to meet 08 smog crap ... Maybe 02 feed back like the new zooks....Maybe we get lucky and they jump from 1352 to 1399 cc ...That would put a slap down on the new but short lived 08 busa..

Needs all of the above! Get rid of that banana seat, make the cowl easy to remove so we can ride the chicas, slipper clutch, dual fans like the busa, change the temperature gauge to a numerical value, No flies from the get-go and if they must have flies then have a button that has "Fly's Open" and "Fly's Closed". Silver body work would be hooooot. Don't forget the Turbo Boost, the in-dash television with Blue Ray DVD, and smoothie dispenser.

My 2 cents...

Body will be the same.

Compression bump to 12:1.

Two radiator fans.

:/

just a correction. The 14 already has 12.1 comp. It was originaly going to have 13.1. It said that on the kaw webs at first. Then before the bike comes out. Its 12.1. Thats possibly going to be the upgrade.

Thats really not significant enough to have me rush my 14 to the dealer to dump it for a new one

! full point of compression would be about 8-10 HP or close to it if they shave about 20 pounds that would be a BEAST!!!

I hope 13:1 compression, two radiator fans and re-tuning/removal of the secondary flies.

How did you find this information out? And are you saying ZERO upgrades and only color changes or just no overhaul upgrade until 2009?
