I bought my ZX-14R in 2013 and I still have it. I love mine and couldn't dream of selling it. Mine doesn't have ABS so its brakes aren't squishy feeling. Mine is flashed, -1 front sprocket and Akrapovic slip-on mufflers. It is very fast. I don't need anything any faster than my 14. It has been very reliable, unlike those BMW S1000RR's which seem to always be having problems.

Other than Kawasaki putting this bike on a serious diet (start with the exhaust bazookas), my only gripe is the dash. If you ride with the helmet sun visor down, that wipes out the backlit 2000’s-era LCD screen. I’m not a full color TFT fanboy or anything, but it’s reasonable to see which gear you’re in whenever the sun is up. Otherwise, perfect ride.

You are so right I have a Hayabusa similar to the zx1400 the first generation I totally agree with you it's fast fun but it really beat you up when I'm done riding I feel like I was in the gym in a 2-hour workout and the brakes suck on that bike as well and the suspension a bit hard man going over bumps my testicles feel like they're going to come through my brain LOL. But I'll keep her I still like her overall but these days it's a short trips.

You have some good points(pros & cons) on the 14. I would like to offer two opinions that address your concerns. 1) Where the BIG 14 shines BEST, is on LONG rides. The ergos & weight, and fuel capacity are "on point" for long distances. 2) The "original" NON-ABS Brakes on Gen's 1 & 2, are imo, some of the BEST motorcycle brakes ON THE PLANET. You had to have "felt" them to know. I will NEVER forget the efficiency of the "standard" brakes on my NEW 2009 ZX-14. Of ALL the moto's I have owned(7), my 14 had thee best BRAKES. Two-finger taps; COLD or HOT, low speeds or HIGH speeds, all day long 💪🏼💪🏼, I am NOT exaggerating. There are STILL "track" riders to this day who prefer NON-abs. That is why you can still buy a non-ABS or, ABS version of a super sport from "certain" brands. *FWIW: My '08 GSX-R 1000 was brand NEW off the showroom floor. Those brakes were thee scariest of ALL 7 of my bikes. They "felt like" brakes for a GSX-R 600. In my heart of hearts, I believe they were the same brakes that are on a GSX-R 600. Insufficient 💪🏼power for a 1000, but I adapted. -🍀

oh brother please do not get a zx14r as your transition bike. i once rode a 300 cc dirtbike and my uncle gave me his r6 and it is different. the r6 was so heavy and feels so different please brother get an R7 or something. maybe a zx636.
