First Pic ! new ZX-14 2012 !

[justynblack]

Two points.

1. I don't see why everyone keeps saying the pictured ZX14 looks like the ZX-10R. To me the styling is clearly influenced by the 2002 ZX-12R.

2. It doesn't really matter as at least according to the Kawi insiders, the picture is a fake and the real 2012 bike doesn't look like it. Which to me is a shame because I really like how the pictured bike looks.

Old front end is a signature feature, I've always like the lines on the zx14.

Looks like some headlight/fairing changes + they stroked the motor 4mm =1440cc. Will it retain the closed deck cylinder design? I'm guessing that's a yes.

Gills or grills The ugliest part of the whole bike (imo)

I agree


It's a different bike without them but it's kinda like a signature for Kawi. Oh well it's an easy enough mod I imagine, I hope this bike delivers on the hype. Traction control and ABS would make this a really nice bike to mod more for sport touring lease:

Dam those gills or grills

1440cc's should equate to a 13-15hp increase.......not enough to get any real jump on the busa. It won't take much at all for Suzuki to match and/or beat that, and barely keep the 14 ahead of the liters. If they wanted to make a statement they needed to give the 14 10+ more hp than its getting now. Its just going to be the 06 14 intro all over again...the limelight for a year or two then eclipsed and pushed back into the shadows
I like the 14 myself, but Kawasaki seems afraid to raise the stakes more than the minimal amount
I imagine we'll never see Thors Hammer again like we did with the intro of the original busa

I actually prefer the old, "signature" front end.

[jefro]

So there's no truth to the "supercharged 250hp" rumors???

[jefro]

Yup!

Well the photos have been released, and I am HIGHLY disappointed at the new design. For one it doesn't look new, it just look like a *slightly* refreshed version of the 1st gen zx14. Looking at spy photos I thought they were going to use the zx10 design which I thought was a fantastic idea, instead they stuck with same ugly design. Only difference is that it's not AS ugly as before
