No Steve its just a count down for laps around the parking lot when you are hanging with the Homies on there Busa's. Dont want to break the Golden Rule of Bling: "More than 6 laps around the parking lot and we designate your bike a 'Busa!"

you guys are calling this THING a beauty?!?!? Its a cross between a R1 and a bike out of "Mad Max"!! And believe me, that aint a good thing.


I don't know "Sticks", I kinda like the fact that they stray away from the typical "YAMAZUKASAKI" design.

Just think of all of the trash talk the ZX14 recieved

Maybe it's me, but it looks on the photos like you really sit down in the bike like it's to give you more feel and control on the road and track.

We'll see.

Still wouldn't mind having one.

Here's a vid of the bike running, sounds sweet and looks like it has a comfortable riding position.

With our weak US dollar, (Bite me Ollie!) I wonder what the bike will cost us?

That wouldn't be TOO bad I guess. All I know is: the extra competition and unique styling is extremely welcome in the cookie cutter world of sportbikes. First the 675 Daytona, then the 1098 Ducati, now this. What's next? The japanese gonna actually try and make there 600's and 1000's look different? lol face it guys, if you arent a bike guy, without badges 99% couldnt tell a Gixxer 1000 from a 650 Ninja. They know the Busa, though. And hopefully the zx14 now.

i think Kaw is a very distinctive Japanese brand, look at the 10, have you ever seen a bike look like it.

My R1 is just my poiunt A to point B bike not my race bike

- I've yet to see a new zx10 in person, and certainly look forward to seeing them at track days.

When are you going to retire it from street duty and ready it for the track? That 600 has to be getting 'old'! How many race miles you got on it, anyways?

The prob with my track bike is HONDAs never wear out!

I was thinking about the new R6 just for a change in track bike but you know what, the new Honda iI think is still a better track weapon.

And my suspension is modified and it'll take over a grand to bring the new one up to speed in suspension alone. so maybe in another year or so :P
