  • I wanted something different than most of the riders in my area.
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 17, 2013

    I choose to buy a ZX14 over the Busa cause everyone in my area as those, and I feel that I made the best decision, the ZX14 is more than what I was asking for. I just finished adding a 330 fat tire kit, Hotbodies exhaust and chromed it out. By far its the best looking bike in my area. I truly love ...

    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 03, 2010

    I bought my bike over a month ago and I fell in love with it. I use to ride a 2003 Hayabusa which I sold in 2008 and waited until this year to get the ZX-14 after doing my research. This is truly remarkable in every since of the word. Modifications are easy as the aftermarket picks up on the popularity ...

    My twin brother and I both rode two zx-1100 bikes a 98 and a 92 with some mods. We both ordered two of the monster editions and love these bikes. They are alot more powerful than the zx-1100 bikes even with mods. We can't wait for the mod prices to go down a little so we can experiment with these ...

    For a long sport bike handling is great, and what can you say about the power OMG. This is the best bike I have owned.

  • Incredible is all I can say.
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jun 11, 2009

    Bought mine 2 weeks ago after being terribly mislead with a BMW K1200S.

    This bike truly is the real deal. It's nimble, incredibly powerful and the burnt Orange/Black color scheme turns heads from both men AND women. My lady friends love the look of the bike.

    This bike ...

    Get one and ride around with a friend new Busa owner in some two way traffic with some stop lights; you'll both be rockstars.

  • ZX1400 REview
    By  (I am an Owner) on May 23, 2009

    Coming off a ZX1100, I thought this bike would be as heavy, but it's nothing like you think it will be. Deceiving light and nimble, this is not a bike for the inexperienced rider. I almost got a ZX12 but found a great deal on a red 14.

    Pros: Lots of after-market mods and lots of stock ...

    Cons: Mirrors are very wide, liitle hard to get used to, so be aware of the blind spots. If you are tall like me, 6', then the pegs are a little too high and will need adjusting down or replaced with lower ones. I also pickup up the risers for the handle-bars.

    I have owned my 2009 zx14 for six weeks and it is by far the best bike I have ever owned. I have a Muzzy M10 exhaust with and powder commander and had the bike lowered two inches. The power band is very smooth and the Muzzy M10 will sure talk to you even under the 4000 rpm limit for the first 600 ...
