Trust me, i'm not afraid either. I'm 250lbs, 34 yrs old and know i'm not the fastest gun out there. Frankly i could give a rats ass. Most young, lighter guys will walk away from me on literbikes. On the ZX14, Ugly is ugly, but if you like it then cool.
I'm also hearing from people about how when the busa first came out how everyone thought it was ugly but then got used to it. The Busa IMO was never ugly to start with, it was just a shock to the motorcycle community when it was unleashed to the public. With the ZX this isn't the case, somehow somewhere style was not considered when it was designed. I really think the design was a quickie wind tunnel job just to hurry it to the market probly where Kawi said to the designers "hey, get some good flow numbers and round a few things".
