BMW forces the competition to man-up!
I've been saying all along competition is good for us consumers. Kawi and the others are now struggling to regain some reputation after a most humbling year out of Germany

Kawasaki has begun to hype the 2011 ZX-10R through a special web site. Held back last year (when it would normally have debuted a new model), Kawasaki has to be targeting the performance of the new class leader, the BMW S1000RR.

Not coincidentally, BMW was also forced to "man-up" when they designed the S1000RR. Now, if they can make it win races they will have something.

I really like the look of that zx10..I wish they work sharpen the lines of the zx14 like that picture ... And kawi while you are at it add that 14000 rpm head and Valve train to the zx14 ..Bump the compression to 13.5.1 .. We zx14 owners will not mind buying 93 pump gas ..

+1 and still name it a ZX-14..... better resale for us. I always use 91 or 93 in this Texas Heat. 100 today, hate to get caught in a traffic jam.

and maybe sell some ZX10's. The '09-'10 were "king of the showroom floors".
and i know one friend got one then dumped it. but you should've seen the look on the guys face (that bought it used from the dealer) when we explained how that bike was broken in
