ZX14?
08/07/11 6:14 AM

Hi guys new member here, need some opinions. Just sold my Z1000 looking for something more comfy and faster. I originally had the ninja 1000 in my mind then i thought of the ZX10R, I sat on the ZX14 and really liked it. I want something that is fast comfy and handles nicely. would I like it more than the ninja 1000? I'm almost 6 foot and 75kg. thanks and proud to be a new member here :)

I test rode the Ninja 1000 at the Kawasaki ride thing and it was ok. Then I rode the ZX14.....Well! Needless to say, I now own a ZX14 so that's your answer right there.. I am 6'3" and ride 2-up with the wife. I put a set of bar risers on and I'm VERY happy with the bike.

Best bike on earth! Ninja 1000 has the same engine as the z1000. It will not be faster.

When 1000 cc's just isn't enough.

Get it you'll love it came from an M109R, once I bought the 14 the 9 sat and was sold 3 months later. I'm 6'1" 215lbs spent 6 straight hours riding the mountains of tennesse loving every minute of it. Most comfortable rocketship I've ever owned. Redlinejoe 08 atomic silver is the best color!!!!
