ZX14 details????????

I was wondering the weight which isn't on their site yet or HP. Thanks!

Not allot of true info on this beast yet.:tt:

Do a search on TWF for zx14 or 14r or ninja 1400 We have heard some sketchy stuff on it that you could look at...

three weeks to bike show in NYC:yikes:

FWIW, they haven't released any info to the dealers yet. Here is what I can tell you...when I sat on it at the dealer show (no fluids) it felt about the same as a ZX12R, considering they have very similar frame designs and only a slightly larger motor I expect it will weigh in about the same or maybe a bit less. The rumor going around was that they are shooting for 200 at the crank, not hard to believe, but it must have huge torque because the tach indicated a redline of 11,500. I'll let you know more if they release anything (although it is usually all over the 'net by the time I get home). Larry

Here is some recent news on the ZX14. http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2006models/2006models-Kawasaki-NinjaZX-14.htm

It is the predecessor to the new 14. The 10 is a Super Sport while the 12 and new 14 are sort'of Sport Touring. That's like comparing a GSXR 1000 to a Busa. Both are supper fast but intended for different task.:2cents:

Both are supper fast but intended for different task.:2cents: Nope, I really meant the 10 & the 14, he hasnt really considered the 12, he loves the look of the 10 but likes the power of the 14...he cant really make up his mind...i think he's a tourer at heart...

He probably would be happier with the 14 then.:2cents:

I was wondering the weight which isn't on their site yet or HP. Thanks! 555 lbs wet weight with a full tank of gas. 5.8 gallons at 7lbs per gallon =40.6 lbs. So about 514 lbs empty.:cheers:

I really expected it to be much lighter.:disapp:

I really expected it to be much lighter.:disapp: yeah I expected it to be alot lighter than that... like arround 480 max dry... but then again... she doesn't look light in any way shape or form:2cents:

So about 514 lbs empty.:cheers: But that isn't the true dry weight... you still got anti-freeze, and oil... not to make up much more weight but believe me...the manufactures do it with no liquid..sometimes not even a battery.

I've said it before and will again. I think some times the forget a wheel when they scale the bikes.:crazy:

I really expected it to be much lighter.:disapp: it's a PIG:runaway:

Yeah it is much heavier than I expected. But I dont know if they were planning on it being much of performer in the twisties. But its going to be a straight away ROCKET!!! Definatly look out busa!!!
