Kwaki knows a good color combo

[PandaNin]

Let me begin by saying I've never seen a ZX-14 I liked. It's just not my style.

That said, while at Kento's BBQ Saturday night this showed up

It looks like Kawi decided to follow the leader and use the new Busa color scheme. It works.

It even makes the Foreman grills edible

The headlights still remind me of an octopus for some reason, but it was a very very nice ride. Very pretty to see it in person.

Oh, and had a great time. Thanks Kent for the invitation! Can't wait to ride some of those roads up that way soon.

Yeah thats a lot better than anything else I have seen on a kaw....

 

[BusaWizard]

Actually Harley used those colors first. But it is a great color combo on whatever.

 

[Hectic]

Pretty colors, but the nose reminds me of the robots in the matrix

 

[jdsbusa]

I like those mirrors, the stems particularly...nice and clean, almost "knife-like" edge

 

[EvilMonkey DSK3]

It's still ugly!

 

[fiend]

It's still ugly!

If i had to get a kawi that would be the one. The color scheme makes it look a lot better, but still not my style.

 

[proud dad]

I'd hit it

You need to tell everyone how ugly this is being as it was planted by a Kawi engineer to monitor approval.

 

[Wallie]

busa power

 

[StenBusa]

It's still ugly!

Fugly!!! is more like it..........

 

[ibified]

yeah, its still a ZX14.

You cant polish a turd.

 

[macon454]

Not to bad, busa does look better, but that is pretty nice.

 

[PandaNin]

yeah, its still a ZX14.

You cant polish a turd.

According to Mythbusters you can

Hey now, I resent that remark. I'm no Kwaki engineer

 

[djsin]

they had one of these at the chicago bike show, knowone was sitting on it like they was the suzuki's even Jason brittons bikes where all alone on the showroom floor....
I think they should go back to the drawing board on the plastics....reminds me of a whale

 

[Hayabusa2005]

Busa still has much better lines...

 

[Wag]

yeah, its still a ZX14.

You cant polish a turd.

Holy crap.

--Wag--

 

[miserycaptain]

I hate the clear fluid reservoirs, why not black or red or whatever with a sight glass? Never liked em on any bike., Just my .02

 

[Justyntym]

I'd hit it

+1...the 14 is an awesome bike.
Brakes are phenominal, engine/tranny super smooth.
Tons of power...

Not quite the low end grunt of a busa
(and God knows I love low end grunt)
but close and smoother than the bus.

My heart belongs to the Busa and it would
be hard were in the market for a new brute
not to get a new busa (even though I hate the tail???)
Heaven forbid, the Busa or Zuk goes the way of the dinosaurs
I could console myself with a 14 very nicely.
