Hello to everyone here. I just bought a 2008 ZX-14 with 2900 miles, FMF Apex pipes, custom wheels. I have had many bikes in the past including the first Kawasaki Z1 registered privately in Orange County Calif. in Oct. 1972, a couple of other Z1s, an H2, an H1R roadracer, a ZX-11, a couple of Triumphs, a HD Sportster and Superglide and a 2003 Hayabusa to name a few. This bike is far and away better (for me) than anything I have ever ridden. It has bar risers to make the position great and the power is amazing. Very happy. Need to get an owners and service manual and probably a rear stand. I bought it in San Antonio and rode it to Houston on Friday.
