Thanks for the great review!! Beautiful bike!! I’m 6’ 2” and big framed...though I haven’t yet seen or sat on one yet...I’m hoping she’d be a comfortable ride without raising the bars or having to lower the pegs. I had a 2003 Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird and absolutely loved the bike though I needed put Heli bars and dropped the pegs and then she was a perfect fit!!! Thanks Again!!!

That icu visit wasn’t cheap, and the physical therapy was painful to say the least. These bikes collect if you don’t show respect. It’s all fun until it’s not.

They do not get it...riding the whole time with the thought to have an accident, never relaxing, you ARE going to have an accident. They cant fathom the fact that it is actually possible to NOT have an accident, especially when you ride unprotected, meaning you ride defensive! Muppets. And NEVER touch the low power mode!! That stays on F all the time. :-)

I currently own a concours, I love this bike so much, have put 20k miles on it in one year. I have been trying to decide what bike I want next. Newer connie? H2 se sx? ZX14r? After much research and a million youtube videos ive made up my mind. My dream bike is a KAWIGREEN ZX14r. Cannot wait to scrape up some extra change to buy one. Cant really afford a brand new one. Would you suggest a pick of between say 20012-2016? Are they all the same or is one year better than the other.

The ZX14R is comfortable yes, but if you plan on having a max effort street racing bike, just buy a gen 5 zx10r. The ZX14R can’t keep up with the new liter bikes until after 180mph. They are just too heavy.

Thats been a thing for 20 years at least my 1998 and 1999 zx9rs both had the same thing too. Bought them 12 years apart, the 1999 version I got this year ( revisiting my youth) is in mint condition compared to the 1998 model I had 12 years ago. Still has that massive clunk and occasionally awkward neutral too. Think the zxr1400 will be my next :-)

I'm 66 yrs old and have had about a dozen bikes and my 2012 ZX14R is the most fun I've had. Don't need to spin the motor up. It's all about torque. Roll the throttle on in top gear from 45mph up to 80 or so for fun, fun, fun. Super smooth and super comfortable with the LSL handlebar conversion. Other than that all stock. I do think people screw them up when they start with aftermarket exhaust etc. "Walk softly and carry a very big stick".

My problem with this review is that at the beginning of the video you show your tyres. Do you ever go around the corners? The chicken strips cover 40% of you tyre. Unless you have ridden this bike around the bends fast it is difficult to believe a review. Of course, they may be new tyres and you had not had a chance to hit the bends. In which case I am wrong,

I have had 4 of zzr/zx14 and bike is creamy.Clunk on first gear is very common on many bikes with big engine.Instrument cluster is very good giving you many parameters.There is no need for colour display for me.Seat is comfy on 2nd gen but I liked a little bit more softer seat on 1st gen. Overall bike is great.Despite its weight it handles well.Also quality of the build is very good and faults do not occur often. Onl one thing I do not like on new model are hideous exhaust pipes. Two Brothers or Leo Vince will make it more sexy.Trust me.

I have a 15 zzr14 in the uk running std Akropovic and took the baffles out so she pops back on the over run. Excellent awesome motorcycle. I cannot recommend this highly enough, it really is awesome. I love it and can't wait to get on the road after this cold wet shitty weather we have in the UK I can recommend tyres Metzeler m7rr front and rear at the std 42psi, good quick warm up with loads of grip, keep on premium fuel and haven't changed anything else so just get one and enjoy. There is a significant power, crazy top end, the front can get light when you are pinning it through the gears. Awesome motorcycle.
