2012 Kawasaki ZX-14R test and review by Motorcycle Daily (MotorcycleDaily.com)

[@ccbusa05]

Well, I sold my busa and now am the proud owner of the mighty ZX14R, in black. My friends and I took a 335 mile spin in the mountains around Sierraville/Downieville Ca this past Saturday. I could go on and on about this beast, but can truthfully say I have never been on a smoother and more powerful bike in my 40 years of riding. BTW, at 6'2 and 165# the stock suspension settings from the factory are perfect for me. I love this thing!!

[@ShaunPC]

This is my favorite review of the Zx14R

[@davedidashit]

I really enjoyed this review. Thank you. I was listening carefully and was not surprised when I realised that the rider did not change out of first gear the whole time. On the drag strip reviews I have seen that first gear does from 0 to 120km/h which is over the 110km/h allowed here in Australia. It really is a beautiful bike and I would love to have one. Subconsciously I think I am saving for one. New in Australia it is $20,000.

[@stewiegriffin5084]

Sorry bro, I just bought one about 9-10 weeks ago, brand new and it was $24,500. But I can also say it was worth every penny of it, it is the best bike I've ever owned.

[@darkdoodler6948]

Your superb review and a little homework of my own resulted in me purchasing a used 2013 ZX-14r here in southern Japan! My wife was a little disappointed but I didn't tell her about your channel so no bad vibes headed your way. All is well... still have the bike and the wife... and my 1996 Harley FXSTSB!😆

[@nebraskanimalhemi]

To me its the only crotch rocket that should've been made, its so comfortable does good on gas, haul ass, looks beautiful. Its my freaking baby :)

[@BlackDub1000]

Hi, the handlebars are not that low and the riding position bears no resemblance to the ZZR600. I have just passed 600 miles on mine, am 49 and 6'2 tall and find the bike really comfortable.I had a Honda Blackbird a while back fitted with Heli bars and a taller screen and put over 42,000 miles on it but feel that this bike is better in every way, including comfort. Go for a demo ride if you can as the bike is incredible and is what the Blackbird replacement should have been.

[@jimjimson9096]

Thanks for the KZbin clip keep up the awesome work and be safe.

[@MrWhitelightning73]

Love to get one....Had a ZX 10 and thought it was fast... Nice review.... Ignore all the low-life , hater comments...Sounds like a bunch of Kids.....

[@theelviscerator]

Just picked one up. Last 2 bikes are V65 Sabre and GS1150e. Big? Heavy? Feels small after those two bruisers, with twice the motor. Has power like electric locomotive.

[@01rockape]

can i ask how you got to record voice whilst riding...i own a very good helmet cam but so far have been unable to achieve decent voice/sound recording. this video gives very good voice over while giving a very good background of the engine and road noise..what equipment did you use???

[@davejames4605]

Excellent review..thanks...just sold my Triumph rocket 3 ive been looking at the zx14r for a while now..cheers

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

Did you get one?

[@rrrkev]

very tempted to buy one. is the suspension changes alot better than the previous 14?

[@Silver1137]

This is a good example of moto-journalists being hired for thier work on paper, then youtube comes along and everyone falls asleep when they get on camera Nice job dude, you've made the hardest accelerating stock bike in the world as exciting as a ninja 250.

[@llerradish]

Pretty good review, I really love my zx14r but I absolutely hate riding it around town so I avoid that as much as possible.

[@bfarm44]

Ditching the exhaust for some Coffman Shorties makes a major difference in weight and handling

[@sbalak]

Great review. BTW are you Donald Rumsfeld's better twin?

[@arch417powersports]

Amazing bike. Needs some megaphone exhaust pipes on it to clean up the mufflers a bit.

[@LizGro]

How is it? From what I've heard it makes a very good touring bike

[@fullfull]

excellent RESUME ! thanks a lot from FRANCE :)

[@kagolko]

thank you for a good review, sir what a motorcycle!

[@petersaints1864]

Very nice review. Thank you

[@dlinquencious]

Beautiful! I would get one but my Ninja 250 would get jealous. Thanks for the info :)

[@Shogun09R1]

Ortega Highway.....good choice for a road test =)

[@shahaadya8]

Beautiful bike beautiful weather beautiful day beautiful scenery, whats needed more for a biker?

[@loganh512]

I have never been more bored watching a video about anything, my god can i get a job

[@halfnelson6115]

Good review.

[@MikeW259]

It's because you're old(No offense). For us Younger Riders that are used to being stuck in a flat backed CROUCH style riding position on Replica Racebikes...The ZZR series is pretty comfortable. If you want a comfortable power cruiser with touring ability...Look into a Suzuki M109R, V-Max, XR1200, K1200GT ect.

[@AdventuresWithMe00]

I didn't know Jay Leno's dad reviewed superbikes...

[@coolvideo28]

ZX14R KING OF BIKES

[@HAACKER45]

Obviously never ridden one, it would make a great sport tourer, beast at a drag strip and a good all a rounder in general.

[@NuarStanger]

@Educalifa lol no kidding... bentley/bugatti, same thing apparently? :P

[@Puzzoozoo]

At 31.5 inches seat height my short 26 inch legs forbid me from ever owing one, even if I could afford one.

[@pebs1man]

Excellent review,I want one of these bike soooooo bad!

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

Did you ever get one?

[@pebs1man]

Bib The Boulder not yet.... looking at a 2020 now. I HAVE gotten to ride one....FREAKIN AWESOME BIKE!

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

@@pebs1man I've been to my local Kawasaki dealer this morning and bought their last one. Brand spanking new. FFs I am SOOOO excited...pick it up in a week as having a radiator guard, heated grips, double screen and a trickle charger fitted.....

[@pebs1man]

Bib The Boulder Congrats! You’ll LOVE it!

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

@@pebs1man Oh I can't wait...I suspect it's going to be rather different to the Honda NC750 they've taken in part-ex lol lol

[@sternumkick]

5:08 You can almost hear the bike say "this is what I do!"

[@trav1971]

He called a Veyron a Bentley ??

[@N4bpp1]

No one effort to show the controls, how they work, etc. I read Cycle magazine's review and I have to get one if I can

[@steelknight1]

Interesting and very informative review.

[@ShaunPC]

Great review!

[@urnzwayzmoove]

Nice Test!

[@tjmick1992]

Sweet now they got magazines doing the M13 method of Vlogging lol

[@Educalifa]

Hope he knows more about bikes than he does about Bentleys

[@bfarm44]

Why can't any of you get the color right. Gold Blaze Green

[@TotallyUnplugged]

Nice job.

[@semperfi211]

Ortega Hwy?

[@spiro5327]

This bike is a rippa but it needs a turbo to give it that extra edge

[@blueskystailwind544]

Bullshit

[@pebs1man]

@pebs1man bikes I meant to say

[@javawocky]

The Cans have to go!

[@marcpec11]

Kawathaki

[@XCRiders]

Them muffkens are unbelievable

[@jeff2all]

Alright pops now put your son on the bike and lets see some real riding!

[@dapras]

dude sounds scared as shit riding through those turns

[@Koolboy7591]

Leave the reviews to the professionals

[@saneaco]

It looks like he is going to fall asleep...

[@jeffblevins2308]

cans cut down on vibration? Seriously? The stock cans are way too heavy... 2 up? Seriously? Do you actually ride motorcycles? If you think this bike needs a turbo, you obviously don't own one.

[@Edison73100]

This is a review, get your own and ride the shit out of it. Or better yet make your own video.

[@gaganpreetxp]

such a good bike but such a booooooring review

[@lemonjellies4985]

Shame it's criminally ugly.
