Comeon guys, you think Kawasaki is gonna update the 2012 zx14 and have RG take it down the 1/8 & 1/4 mile and have it be about the same as the previous 14s???
It has to be faster!!!
We all hope it is faster ... That has not been proven yet .. Ricky video proves nothing ... His numbers prove nothing .. The only word we have is his word and i'm sorry right now that carrys no weight with me .. Wait till we see some others run some numbers and then we can fill in the blanks ourselfs ..

I guess its too much to ask for an objective unbiased source of info on the new bike?
The new ZX 14 will be the fastest bike on the planet.!!!!.............even if it only runs 6.3's with Ricky Gadson riding it

Smokin, I just dont understand why you dont think RG is credible in your eyes?
I have known RG along time and believe that when RG speaks, people listen!!!...lol

Nothing wrong with that time slip Wee!!!...I believe you can ride, but riding a OEM off the showroom floor bike lets you see the differences easier than one with mods!!!

well, we know my 06 came off a showroom floor not from a Kawasaki trailer, 6.15 short wheelbase was my best, I have video. what did RG run on a swb 06 out of the KHI trailer? Pretty cool being compared to RG hehe Thanks

I haven't seen one bike released from kawasaki that didn't run a number that Rickey did with another good rider. I went 9.50's on my 1st ZX12 with a pipe and gearing and slammed and hit his trap speed. What is his best on a 65" stock motor 14? I bet I can get close. The new ZX10? There is one right down the road that pulls BIG mph. He will be at our track next. I don't see where he miss represents what the bike will do becuase I ran very close if not hit that number and always hit the trap speed-which means hp. So if my hand isnt as good as RG's, which it probably isn't, the speed tells the truth if the bike is "capable"
Some of you guys have gone pretty damn quick on the old 14-maybe quicker then RG depending on set up. How is he over hyping or lying about these bikes?

I would like to know why Kawasaki allowed RG to post pieces of pictures and a video only to have him retract them?

Ok i'm only going to say this one time ..
Ricky hyped the 08 zx14 to be much faster than the 06 07 zx14 .. In my testing i found it to be a tiny bit faster than a 06 07 zx14 .Wee and a few others also felt it was just a bit faster .. But others ran no faster .. Most all dyno's showed the HP the same ..Ricky posted the HP much much higher for the 08 Vs the 06 07 zx10 .. In the hands of other pros the 08 ran much the same as the Gen 1 zx14s .. But Ricky claimed it was much faster when he got the first 08 zx14 ..
Number two .. The 08 zx10 that Ricky and Richard ran really good numbers on .. The proof is the bike never set any records with anyone riding it .. We all know NOW the 08 zx10 was lacking in HP in stock motor specs .. Brocks piped and tunned 08 zx10 was 162 on pump gas .. Not earth shaking in anybodys book . .. . More proof is very few even race a 08 zx10, that should tell you something ..
So i'm sorry I'm not buying what he has to say about the new zx14 .. If i'm wrong i'm wrong and i hope i'm wrong and the new zx14 is very very fast .. I'm just not buying the spin and hype that has been posted by Ricky ..

I'll tell RG to tell Brock, to tell Smokin that the new 14 is the one that he should have in his garage next to the Mopar!!!

If Brock rides and dynos it and tells me it is faster it will be in my garage ASAP .. You can bet your left nut on that ..

Here is what Rickey posted on Psychobike on Oct. 28, 2007 when Rickey was pimpin’ the new more powerful 08 ZX-14. (BTW, I traded my 06 for an 08 2 days before, so I was pretty excited).
The title of the thread?
“08 Busa move over- 08 ZX14 makes 184hp, Documented from Crate,pics,dyno results”
Quoting Rickey:
“The numbers read
1.56. 60ft
4.02. 330ft
6.05 660ft
121.41
7.81. 1000ft
9.31 et
149.61 mph
Just to make sure we are clear, the bike was uncrated Friday, dynoed with and without filter on Friday.
Secondary butterflies still in place.
Lowered on Saturday
Race track on Sunday.
This post by Ricky proves my point .. 184 HP ? hype plain and simple because we all know the 08 made no more HP stock than a stock 06 07 ZX14 ...
