Thanks for the video.I have one exactly like yours and i agree with everything you said about the ZX-14r.I've had many motorcycles in my life and this one is all i could ever want.Almost forgot i'm 73 years young.
So happy to hear that! I just turned 40 and I'm hoping to ride mine for many years to come. Best bike you could ever want. Absolute sweetheart to ride.
Kawasaki threw a TON of money and resources into the design of this bike. It shows. The engineers did nothing wrong when they made this bike. Its so nimble for how big and strong it is. Its immaculately styled, has the best aero of any bike. The spent a LOT of time in the wind tunnel with this bike. The stock mirrors are AMAZING, never change them. I have a full titanium single tip Brock's exhaust and 150% do I recommend getting that one.
I have one m.y. 2012. Where i live (Italy) is named ZZR 1400. I used to ride a 2008 CBR 1000 back in the day, which was a really fast machine. But the ZZR is in another league. Sometimes i got even scared about how fast this bike is. Accelerating full throttle is kind of a mystic, supernatural sensation... Awsome monster. Congrats to all the ZX14R buddies.
Congratulations my friend I have a Busa that I bought in 2020 when me and my ex agreed to get divorced 😊😊😊 I'm 56yrs young and we all should have these kinda bikes in our old lives lol Gen X plus lol
I bought mine brand new in Feb of '21. It's my dream bike. Love it! GOBS of horsepower and torque throughout the rev range! Extremely stable at high speeds, and doesn't get upset when you hit bumps at any speed! There's so much torque, that when I'm at freeway speeds, in 6th (which is probably 3,000 RPM or so) if I suddenly need to pass someone, I have zero need to downshift. I just roll on the throttle (a little) and I'm suddenly getting close to triple digits! Bone stock! People talk about the weight, but it's a matter of perspective. When you're at a light, or stationary, sure... if you lean her to the left so you can sit upright and keep your foot on the rear brake, you're going to feel her weight on your left leg. Is she heavy compared to a Harley or Goldwing? No. Is she heavy compared to a Ninja 400? Of course! But you adapt to your bike. But once you're rolling? She's still VERY nimble! The weight is what keeps her steady in sketchy situations, however. I regularly go out on 3+ hour rides, and it's awesome! Right around that point is where I need to give the glutes a rest, but otherwise, 30 minutes for some grub, a little bit of a stretch, and I'm right back out enjoying the ride! The ZX-14R does require a responsible rider, though. The power is so brutal when you get into it, that it doesn't take much to get you into "prison speeds". This bike begs to be run at track speeds! And she does it SO well! She's completely stable and confidence building well past a buck fifty. And the acceleration experience and force throwing you back is so intense that it's easy to miss the shift to second or third! She's such an incredible bike!
I have a 2022 ZX-14 and I absolutely love the exhaust. The 4 into 2 looks great with the big exhaust cans. I'm 50 and not interested in modifications at all like I used to be....I put a 4 into 2 into 1 exhaust on my ZX-11D way back in the day, Vance & Hines SS2R and it looked and sounded awesome, but many of the aftermarket pipes for the ZX-14 really detract from the look of the motorcycle because they are too small. I'm 6'2 and weigh 245 and the main reason I love this bike, other than the fact it's a Kawasaki and I'm very partial because Kawasaki is pretty much all I've ridden, is that the bike is BIG and heavy and comfortable and I'm not uncomfortable on it at all. Yes, it's a bit long in the tooth, especially compared to the new Hayabusa, which is friggen awesome and a hoot to ride, but I like old school and I love my big Ninja. I am very curious to see what Kawasaki will do when they discontinue the ZX-14 and build a new and updated motorcycle to directly compete with the Hayabusa. The H2 is absolutely incredible, but it's a bit scary and very expensive....maybe a new scooter called the ZX-15 that has all the gadgets and gizmos that the Hayabusa has and in the same ballpark as the Hayabusa when it comes to sales price.
Bro, I’m so happy for you, this a hella good bike and Comfortable which plays a huge roll on enjoying it. Be safe out there can’t wait to see what you do with homie.
The best description or label I can put on it... long distance hypersportbike... 6 ... 7 hours in the saddle will not break you. Been sitting on ferries on trips with 30+ more bikes of all types. Pretty well the only one that draws attention is my zx14 special edition with the burnt orange candy colour. These are fantastic.
GREAT for you! I love my 2018 and thats coming from a owning a busa. If you are planning to change the exhaust I would recommend getting the full exhaust alien head 2 with pc5 and mapping from Brock Davidson. Believe me it adds more than just a little bit of performance and it sounds mean. You cant beat his systems in my opinion.
An excellent review of this legend of a bike, sure there's the H2S but it's smaller, then there's the new Busa but it's not so powerful, uncomfortable and not even suitable for touring. The ZZR 1400/ZX14 remains King!! Your fortunate enough to still have them available in the States, I was fortunate enough to get the last available one in Europe, the Performance Sport model with Brembo brakes, OHLIN suspension and Akrapovic exhausts. I also prefer the colour scheme on mine, sparkle black and gold sparkle Kawasaki green. The best motorcycles ever made, I've subbed so I can view your progress 👍
Yup just traded my 2011 Vulcan Vaquero for 2022 gray, red and black color! I love this bike, can’t see myself going back to a bagger! This is my new touring bike now! Quest to 100,000 miles
That's gotta be the best colour scheme for these bikes. I have an 07 in Phantom grey metallic but I'd love the green and black accents 👍👍 thx for the video
I've got a '21 as well. Bought it brand new, 1 mile on odo, also. I agree with everything you've said about the 14R. Very, very sad news to announce, though; the day 14R fans have been dreading, is finally here. Kawasaki has their 2024 models up on their website, and the 14R ISN'T THERE! The 14R was/is my dream bike. I wanted to buy mine brand new, so I didn't have to deal with problems that come with buying used. You never know if the previous owner (or ownerS) have beat the bike, didn't change the oil often enough, or do the scheduled maintenance, etc. I love how she rides! The stock seat is the most comfortable stock seat I've ever ridden on. BUT, I go on LONG rides, and right around the 2 hour mark, my butt starts getting numb. The suspension setup is excellent. Because she's kind of a heavy bike, if I hit a pothole on the freeway at speed, she stays totally stable and moves on like nothing happened. She does just fine through the twistys (even the hairpins!). And for those of you who have taken the MSF, I can do the figure 8 turn in the small bike parameters, on my 14R! It took practice, but I can do it! The power... The horsepower and torque you get on this bike, from factory, is AWESOME! I've been riding since I was a little kid, so when I took delivery of my 14R, I immediately put it in Full Power mode, and haven't looked back. If you aren't a newb, and you don't have a problem with whiskey-throttle, she's gentle enough at lower speeds, that you could go from a 600 Sportbike, to this (even in Full Power mode). When you get into 1/2 throttle and above, at freeway speeds, though, it's like riding a missile! I'll be at freeway speeds, in 6th, come up behind a slow-poke that doesn't want to move, and all I have to do is give it a little twist of the Wrist (probably no more that 1/4 throttle) and I'M GONE! And I'm 220 lbs! The ZX-14R rides so smoothly. It's truly a dream to ride. As I said, she's my dream bike. I've got her paid off, and I'll never get rid of her. I'm going to get more bikes for the corral, for sure, but my 14R WILL ALWAYS be in my rotation. So it's a sad, sad day that Kawasaki has finally decided that the 2023 ZX-14R is the last model year for "the king of the quarter mile".
@@marcelofirmino3354 I'm pretty sure this is the end. Kawasaki is advertising their new "e-bikes" at the top of the page, above even the H-2's! I like to think about it like this. The ZX-14R is one of the last naturally aspirated large displacement, motorcycles. Especially in a Sport/Super/Hyper bike set-up. It's like being at the end of the 1960's having just bought a brand new Mustang Boss 429, just before the gas crisis in the 1970's. Hold on to your 14R for dear life. With this massive push for electric, we'll never see large displacement motorcycles again! Mark my words, big displacement Harleys and Honda Goldwings are next! After that, they'll come for the liter bikes! Kawasaki has already gotten rid of the 600 Sportbikes for 2024, too!
Great video! You should consider having Chris Moore at Moore Mafia reflash the ecu. He did mine and well worth the money. I added a full yosh pipe and removed the secondary butterflies and geared down one tooth on the countershaft. It’s absolutely incredible.
In 1986 I bought a brand new red ninja 1000 at Boston bike show, I was 25 and finally got my dream bike, back then it was one of the fastest vehicles on the road and I used every cc, I miss that bike, great design, balance, power, braking, even these bikes have very similar design, my new dream is the ,1400, it's long and kinda heavy, but I'm 62 now so that'd be perfect, smooth, powerful machines.
Yes, it is a super sport tourer as well as a hyper sport! For the purest Super Sport Tourer that is The Concours 14. I Love them both, but in different ways. The ZX is an absolute comfortable Beast, but its not really a tourer, thats the Connie, but the Connie is also a beast as well. You simply cant beat either but they are different. I have owned the ZX and now the Connie. For comfort the Connie is King, for all out Power the ZX is King.
Congrats sir. Met all of my goals I established for myself 1 April and picked up mine on 2 April. Finally back on two. Wish we could all get together and ride. Okay, back to the garage to stare at it a little more.😁 it's cold and windy😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬
Ooooh what a beauty, only one thing, I have new exhaust one mine, I think the stock ones are big clumps. And it’s a nicer sound in the ones I have, this is the best bike I ever had, I can’t even remember all the bikes I had or have tryed. I have been riding more or less for 30 years, ZZR1400 is just the bike I would have for the reas of my bike career.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Did you figure out why the bars were shaking when you let go of them? Mine does the same.. superstable when at least one hand is on them but shaking on low speeds when i let go
Kawasaki and honda make the best bikes my opinion Kawasaki makes the fastest bike's and will continue in the future. People stop hating on Kawasaki they make the fastest bike's in the world 🌎 and Don't you forget that shit 💯 kawasaki gang.. if it's green it's mean💥👈

I rebalanced the front tyre three times and the shaking continue. I contact the kawasaki dealer and we don´t now how can it be solved, maybe change the tyre??... PLEASE i love the zx14r but this shaking in handlebars it is not ok and put me sad!!! Did you manage to solve your problem(the same as i have) ? How? Thanks for help. All kind of help is welcome.

All is good, I’ve had to take some time off from the channel to get life back in order, although slowly but surely I’m working my way back into making videos again. How’ve you been?
@@marcelofirmino3354 great to hear that! Hope to see some new videos from you mate 👍 Not so much zx14r related content here, especially when people say some real things and thoughts 👍
5'9", 60yo, 135 pounds on a 2016, Guhl flashed ECU, full exhaust, flat-footing it. Definitely fast in a straight line, but it sure can turn, too. Not me in the video, but... th-cam.com/video/IHnvCa59ZQU/w-d-xo.html
@@marcelofirmino3354 I love the idea of the power but getting around in the city I hear the 14 is not that great so may b the z900 or I really like the 900 rs a bike that never had issues the RS a person. With 40,000 said he just does oil and tires that's it
For the 2022 year, the Busa and the ZX14r do offer a lot of bang for your buck. But as things are currently, the busa for the 2022 year has some really nice updated features that the zx14 hasn’t caught on to yet. In my perspective, I’ll always be a Kawi guy and will always try to stay true with the green. But man oh man does the busa hit the nail on the head this Generation. I guess we’ll see if the ZX14 can also be treated to an update for this coming year.
Hi. Thanks for the video. Loved it. I myself drive the 2012 second gen full green model, with Bodis exhausts. Best bike ever!! ;-) Quick question: what is your cam setup? Do you have a chin mount? And if you do: which one? Thank you for the info.

@@diego9040 There was a 2021 at the Kawasaki dealer near me, on the showroom floor, they had it listed for $15.500. I called the salesman and told him im bringing a bag of money and asked him how much? He called me back in 10 minutes and said $21.000.00. LOL. So i found a 2015 that has 1600 miles on it, spectacular beauty for $11.500, with yoshimuras on it. That beauty is sitting out there in my shop right now and i love it more than i ever dreamed i would. Ive got a Kawasaki Concours too.

Zx14 nation the best bike ever made the ultimate sleeper have the 2016 matt black stealth edition people see it and dont know its a 14 cause its hid on it but real motercycle riders know cause the alien headlight is one of a kind
The video was great. Right up until you started talking. No offense to you, I just do not prefer watching videos where I have to listen to someone talking the whole time. I would prefer to just hear the bike and watch the video
Dont drag race, don't pop wheelies, take care of your bike because in the future this bike will b worth twice as much and a rare bike like a z-28 car🧝⚡
A 2020 model in uk in good condition is already selling for close to what they cost 4 years ago. Likely driven by the fact you can’t buy them now here.

What do you mean true your wheels to your front forks? I'm not native english so.. 😂 Thanks man🤙
Enjoy it,I love my 2015 ZZR1400 Performance Sport.
Couple of carbon Scorpion's make it look better had mine 6 years and it still feels awesome every trip
The new models don’t come with a quick shifter? I have a 2016 and I love it and I also want to install a quickshifter.
They don’t, although I always say that learning to quick shift isn’t hard and always comes in handy in the case of a malfunctioning clutch
Love the colors.
Does it come with a centerstand?
My ZX-11s in the 1990s had centerstands (great for more stable parking).
It does not, at least mine didn’t!
Kawasaki and honda make the best bikes my opinion Kawasaki makes the fastest bike's and will continue in the future. People stop hating on Kawasaki they make the fastest bike's in the world 🌎 and Don't you forget that shit 💯 kawasaki gang.. if it's green it's mean💥👈

@@stephenpenniket9976 kawasaki H2 look it up buddy 300hp stock just saying and the kawasaki ZX1400 suzuki is played all the way out man get with the future my guy.
woah so cool 👍🏻
slt fan of the zx14R I loved your opening intro with the key I will copy your idea with a little thumb music and one more subscriber ✌️
I really like the bike but what would cost for kawasaki to put LED lights and quickshifter on it.
If yu like the big bad 14, adfitional costs shouldnt matter, grab one😎
Maybe quickshifters eat the gearbox on these, I dunno?
LOVE IT. SOPPING NOW.
I’ve been wanting one of those for a long time I hope they don’t stop making them.
Now is as good of a time than ever to start living 👍🏼
They just stopped. For the U.S. 2023 is the last model year. 😔
Congrats, I got one also
Love that bike!!!!!
HELLO, i have zx14r 2020 with 1500miles with bridgestone s20 (oem tyres) and in the last 3 months i try to solve the problem of handlebars shaking like in your video in 2m:55s. I rebalanced the front tyre three times and the shaking continue. I contact the kawasaki dealer and we don´t now how can it be solved, maybe change the tyre??... PLEASE i love the zx14r but this shaking in handlebars it is not ok and put me sad!!! Did you manage to solve your problem(the same as i have) ? How? Thanks for help. All kind of help is welcome. Regards.
2 years later... what's new man?
Hope you're doing well 👋
All is good, I’ve had to take some time off from the channel to get life back in order, although slowly but surely I’m working my way back into making videos again. How’ve you been?
@@marcelofirmino3354 great to hear that! Hope to see some new videos from you mate 👍 Not so much zx14r related content here, especially when people say some real things and thoughts 👍
Nice video ,hope to see more ..Congrats.whats your height and is this easy for a rider to handle coming from a zzr 400cc.thnx
5'9", 60yo, 135 pounds on a 2016, Guhl flashed ECU, full exhaust, flat-footing it. Definitely fast in a straight line, but it sure can turn, too. Not me in the video, but... th-cam.com/video/IHnvCa59ZQU/w-d-xo.html
I think about buying one but I hear it does not handle well in the city so may be the 900 rs or z900 🤔
Z900 would me my go to for city or fz09!
@@marcelofirmino3354 yes I love the look and feal of the 900 rs but the z900 has 125 hp. And the RS 110 🤔
@@vincentdavidson755 more powa!!
@@marcelofirmino3354 I love the idea of the power but getting around in the city I hear the 14 is not that great so may b the z900 or I really like the 900 rs a bike that never had issues the RS a person. With 40,000 said he just does oil and tires that's it
dude why does it look so easy to handle on the curves?? thats wild.
it used to put on mine too, until I saw police in my mirror. Any contact with police on this bike is a knockout straight away.
I can’t decide should I get the 2022 zx14 or the 2022 Busa, please help me, what’s your opinion? Thank you!
For the 2022 year, the Busa and the ZX14r do offer a lot of bang for your buck. But as things are currently, the busa for the 2022 year has some really nice updated features that the zx14 hasn’t caught on to yet. In my perspective, I’ll always be a Kawi guy and will always try to stay true with the green. But man oh man does the busa hit the nail on the head this Generation. I guess we’ll see if the ZX14 can also be treated to an update for this coming year.
Suggest you check out Yamminoob's video on the Gen 3 Busa, they were disappointed with the performance.
Hi. Thanks for the video. Loved it. I myself drive the 2012 second gen full green model, with Bodis exhausts. Best bike ever!! ;-)
Quick question: what is your cam setup? Do you have a chin mount? And if you do: which one? Thank you for the info.

Dude, where have you been? No posts?
Life took a few unexpected turns, although things are looking up. I have a few drafts I need to finish so they’ll be up soon. Thank you for the support 🤘🏽
ZX 15 come here. 👍
Cool! How much did you get it for on road? 2021 model right?
Cost me $15,500 usd!!
@@marcelofirmino3354 was this out the door? W taxes, dealer fees and transfer ?
@@diego9040 There was a 2021 at the Kawasaki dealer near me, on the showroom floor, they had it listed for $15.500. I called the salesman and told him im bringing a bag of money and asked him how much? He called me back in 10 minutes and said $21.000.00. LOL. So i found a 2015 that has 1600 miles on it, spectacular beauty for $11.500, with yoshimuras on it. That beauty is sitting out there in my shop right now and i love it more than i ever dreamed i would. Ive got a Kawasaki Concours too.
@@trent3872 I got mine 2 month ago also 2018 w 2000 miles , love it !!!👏👏👏👏
@@diego9040 Good deal!!! Man are these great bikes or what? My next bike will be another zx14r lol.
ZX14 my dream bike even if it is too big and heavy for me lmao
Seat height is not too bad actually.. weight's about the same as an 883 sportster but the weight is low..
I have Z900RS cafe’ your having me wanting to go trade now
Super sweet bike. I’d buy it all over again if time comes to it!

outstanding engine..terrible riding position..fat and heavy...just sold mine.
Heavy, really? Maybe compared to a smaller Sport bike
@@cascadian19 or a small bus
The video was great. Right up until you started talking. No offense to you, I just do not prefer watching videos where I have to listen to someone talking the whole time. I would prefer to just hear the bike and watch the video
great bike! such a horrible color .wtf Kawasaki
I love this color. What’s your favorite color/year?
Bellissima. Ma la mia Hayabusa è più bella. 👍💪
Dont drag race, don't pop wheelies, take care of your bike because in the future this bike will b worth twice as much and a rare bike like a z-28 car🧝⚡
A 2020 model in uk in good condition is already selling for close to what they cost 4 years ago. Likely driven by the fact you can’t buy them now here.
