I guess some on here see the UK's BIKE magazine. what I have only just noticed, but shouldnt have been surprised, is that the 14 is one of only 12 bikes across all manufacturers to be awarded their 5 star rating. Kawasaki are the only manufacturer to have 3 machines in the 5 star group. Big H for once are down to two with 5 star, the VFR1200F and the NC750X. But you already knew this :)
