Wow, an uglier bike that a 'Busa..... increadible. Must be something to do with ultra high speed that makes designers come up with such malformed looking bikes..... :roll:
No Witnesses.... :shifty:

Overall I like it. Thick and beefy looking. Too bad the pipe looks like an afterthought. Would have been nicer if it were integrated into the bike more, maybe even undertail.

The Bikes OK, but Yes those Pipes look 1980's!

Not that it would stop me from adding it to my imaginary Fleet! :laughing:

As a Kwacker/Kiwi/Kaw fan, even I must say...gross design.

Shame on you, Big K!
I believe in technology. I believe in DOHC, multi-valve cylinder heads, liquid-cooling, astronomical RPM, more than five gears, light weight, chain drive, and all at a reasonable price.

I believe in sportbikes.

It was interesting to note that at the bike show I attended recently the ZX14 was on display in the corner of the Kawi booth on a rotating stage, and as we sat there absolutely nobody gave it any attention. Even the EX500, unchanged for 13 years sitting 30 feet away from it got more action. The fastest production bike in history, and nobody cares :lol:
