Best Open Street Bike 2007 Kawasaki ZX-14
Just got my August Cycle World. ZX-14 is still the King.
Quote:
"Big performance generates big headlines, and no motorcycle created more of a stir last year than the ZX-14. Twelve months later, nothing has changed. Despite sophisticated electronics that soften power delivery in the first four gears, only the steamiest Open-class racer-relicas are as quick in the quarter-mile and nothing-repeat, nothing posts a higher top speed. Yet there is more to this highly refined big bore Ninja than simply neck-snapping acceleration and landscape-blurring ultimate velocity. Dual counterbalancers all but eliminate engine vibration, and the seating position and suspension calibration fall somewhere between hard-edged sportbike and long-haul sport-tourer. Performance, comfort and agility, the ZX-14 has it all."

fish you can't comprehend 2007 vs 2008? don't they teach calendars where you come from wtf, i expected better from you, oops no i didn't.
i stated a fact from a nationally recognized publication, and then you post bs , change it , then say i'm on crack??????????
i would think as a moderator you might take the high road and not post bias on the 14 side.

no... you don't understand what I'm saying.. there really is no difference between 07 and 08 cuz the model years are blurring right now..... releasing that article saying how the 14 is the greatest since sliced cheese would have made sense in Feb, mar, april or even may, but releasing it for august after they've announced a new busa? Come on  ... they're as late to the party is as KMC is with the press intro for the concours.

"they're as late to the party is as KMC is with the press intro for the concours."
suzi announced a new bike for next year, as far as i know there are no 08 busas released or available so what else would the mag have to compare with, the aug mag arrived in late june so the timing isn't so out of whack either, as i type the year is not even half over.
as far as the article goes it was top a current top 10 award of available current model year, not an in depth exam of would be future vapor-bikes. maybe since your in the biz you live in the future?

just tellin it the way it is.... the new busa isnt vapourware cuz they've officially announced it. Like I said (and again, now I'm repeating myself - gee I like typing things twice) ... if that article was out 3 months ago then I'd buy it, but now with a new busa official all bets are off on who's king... it's a fact.
BTW... did that article talk about the bikes overheating?
