I'm in in 2012...
Going to wait until 2012 to get my ducks in a row a bit better and for my Italian friends to update their pipe for the 14R and then I will dive in. The upside of my wait is that the 14R will need minimal tweaks to deliver what I want now with 1441 cc, dual fuel maps and TC from the factory. I expect this thing will be stupid fun with my preferred pipe and matched tune. Had to sell my '07 a while back so the 14R will be worth the wait.....

I'd likely lose too much of my @ss with trading or selling my '06 - but I'm considering selling/Trading my '08 Raider 'S' in order to swing the new '14. I think my gold Carrozzeria rims swapped over would look hot on that new green.

I fell in love with the 2011 - you could not rip it from my cold dead hands.

I keep thinking about calling the dealership. But I am trying to avoid getting caught up in the pre-delivery stress, delays, etc...

I sold my 06 this spring, took a long time to get rid of it, bought a goldwing instead and put more miles on her this year than the 5 yrs I had the ZX14. But miss blasting around from time to time, will wait since 06-11 models are everywhere going dirt cheap. They are costly to insure up here in Ontario, about $3000 fully insured and I been riding for 30 yrs with clean record. I know regardless of the new ZX14 performance, the bike has limited demand up here and eventually you can get a very low mileage bike already with pipe, power commander etc for half the price. Sad but the economic reality.

Hi Vince.......the black one looks nice.  Was going through stuff in the garage a while back and ran across a fender eliminator kit for one of my 12R's some nice person sent me a LONG time ago. Any idea who that was?

Swapping off the `11 C14 for a blue one. The C14 is pretty nice, wish I could have both, but just can`t get into the bagger thing. I miss my y2k 12R too.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Great pictures. Too bad we can't get the "flame free" green 14R SE like Asia and Europe. Guess it's too similar to the 2009 bike. Classic Kawasaki colors though.
thanks,
