"So today I did a photo shoot with the new 2012 ZX14 at a 1/8th mile track that had an elevation of 2900ft, and the new 14 still manage to go a tenth and 3 mph quicker than the old one at prior shoots. I guess Kawi just put the exclamation point on being the Fastest production bike!!!" from Rickey Gadson

8.69@161..... If that was a 1.35 short time then you are looking at 8.20's.. With only 25-30 more hp.. Ricky's 1530 built to the bone with 260hp can manage 8.30, maybe a hair quicker. That bike is hitting 170 trap speed. It just doesnt add up.

That strip is at 1700ft elevation or so and the DA is awful up there. That is the track that CraigChrist and I have raced at for the past three years or so. The DA out there has been around 4500 to 5000ft this week, so that would definitely take some away from it.

My Bad .. If you look real close there is one on the other side also .. It's very dark in the picture but you can just barely see the outline of it ..

I dont think that a 2x2 is going to happen unless kawasaki is going to change everything in the engine.
an 86mm bore doesnt leave much room with the current bore spacing. Using the existing bore spacing would only allow a 1 mm overbore at most..
a larger bore spacing means a new crankshaft and block .... also make the bike wider , and maybe even a change in the frame to get the throttle bodies in there.
a longer stroke would mean longer rods and a taller deck height . that seems easy enough ...
larger valves would be required to really improve flow , but than we are back to needing a larger bore for them to fit ....
If these changes do happen it mean that nothing from the earlier models can be used .....

Whoever posted the front view pic of the bike above first is the winner of the hat. That' s the "real" 2012 model and the only legit pic on the internet rite now.

1 x 2 would make sense .. allow for bigger valves , still have room for 2 mm over bore , and keep the same bore spacing . But I do hope they go with longer rods and a taller deck height...
adding 5mm to the block doesnt seem to change much.... except for changing spark plugs :-)
