New ZX-14r...

[evolve]

I have got to stop racing bikes...

Traps over 150 stock and runs DEEEEEEEP in the 9s. Thoughts?

Nice bike, but I've always been a Yamaha man. That thing sure is a beast though.

I seen a mag in the grocery store that had the track time on the cover and I literally lol'd. I want one!

sweet bike, but im a suzuki man myself. Also, im not into sport touring bikes, this zx-14r weighs 584lbs thats very very heavy. Good on straights.... bad in turns. That thing weighs 250lbs more than my bike. My GSX-R 750 will run a 10.3 stock. And, with power commander, and sprocket change, it can run 9s all day.

That looks like a giant bike and seems like it would take a lot of the fun out of canyon carving and toss-ability even though its a blast in the straights.......kinda like a stock 07-10 GT500

Your 750 seems to be a great compromise.

for sure man. Id get a 1000 bike any brand before i ever got a zx14r or hayabusa. They are way too heavy

[jmart53]

yeah but it's a kawasucki jk Nice numbers though, I just happen to be a Yamaha man myself... and now I'm sad because I sold my R6 Raven not too long ago

114 ft lbs of torque is SERIOUS

I bleed green. Both my streetbikes were cowasakis.

750s are right in the sweet spot of weight and power. To this day, I don't know why they aren't more popular. I guess it's because there isn't an AMA or WSBK series showcasing them, but still. Lots and lots of guys want the biggest bike they can find, but to me, even a literbike is just not that practical on the street.

I agree, thats why i bought it. Way more power than a 600, but not too crazy like a liter bike. Plus I couldnt afford a liter bike. But, im more than happy with the 750s power
