I agree... it's all in the wrist!!!!!!!! Any bike can kill you... if YOU let it. Just use your head and never lose respect for the power that sits beneath you!!! Don't make any power mods to the 14 other than a slip-on system for the first year atleast. If you have been riding safely for two years and are a responsible rider then I don't see why I should tell you not to buy one, but I would recommend finding an 06 or 07 with the flies still in!!! Just remember, you don't have to take the ZX14 out to prove that it'll go fast. It does & it will, I promise. So NEVER let anyone else be the cause of you killing yourself because they don't believe the bikes potential or cause they want to see it first hand... that's what Youtube is for!
I agree as well. I STARTED on a 1999 ZX-11 in 2001. I'm 5'11" 200 lbs. Went to riding school, came out and jumped right on it and never looked back. It's truly in the wrist I would say. However, while the ZX-11 was a brute, it was more forgiving than a FUEL-INJECTED bike. You tend to have throttle lag on carb bikes which can save your life possibly. If you KNOW you have a very forgiving throttle hand, go pick up a 14 and don't look back. As a few people on here have said, ANY bike can't get you hurt.
