Boy Do I wish Honda would come up with a new BlackBird, then I'd have a option for my new Bike... I bought a Kawi in 2003, but I'm now regretting the choice in some ways, mainly that Kawi doesn't do great on 'Fit n Finish', so a new updated 200Hp Honda would be a dream.... But guess the money musn't be in this type of bike, to bad their wasn't more sales when it comes to the sport touring bike....
1 Kawi ZX-14
2 Suzuki Busa
3 FJR 1300
4 Kawi Concours
I'm cosidering the ZX-14, but am pretty slow to spend the cash, but if Honda made a comparable model I'd buy one instantly.....

Awkwardly enough, the ZX-10 is faster then the 14... don't ask me how or why I know. Suffice to say deserted streets and bored co-workers makes for an interesting combination.

Thats is possibly True.... Kawasaki only said the ZX-14 could pull 9-10sec qauter mile times, nothing was mentioned about spanking every bike out there.... Since a ZX-14 is Heavier by 100lbs or so, and only 200HP, well a ZX-10 at 180Hp and a 100lbs less would be quite a machine... and tough to beat!
A Buddy of mine has a Gixxer 1000, and His claim is that he has spanked the ZX-14, but that a Busa will pass him on Top end... Which I'd asssume the ZX-14 and Busa would both 'Out Drag' their litre bike competion, but then the middle range would home to the litre bikes, and the Top end would be a matter of time and areodynamics which the ZX-14 and Busa would win over....
Also there is lots of internet video's out there to back up such speculation.....
Anyway I still want a 200Hp Honda Blackbird.... Come on Honda, Build One....
