Blown,
I also have the N104. I've only gone over 150 (tucked). Its a noisy helmet, but I've never experienced vibration isues. Just throwing it out there.

still not of is colour 2016 diffused on Internet, it well the sign of a new model not?

The car biz nearly put Suzuki under. They are still recovering. Still, rehashi9ng the same old thing can only carry you for so long....

No reason for KHI to up the ante on the 14R. Yamaha and Honda don't even have anything in that class.

"And better looking ! what the hell were they thinking on the rear tail
section on those Gen 2 Busa's ?????"

Drag Racing.The 14 has the upswept foam on the pilot seat area...the Busa's is a single seat pilot deal.Hence the hump.To hold ya in the saddle.If that's what yer talkin about?

Kawasaki has been on it lately. Maybe they did update it.

"If that's what yer talkin about?"

I guess I meant the turn signals, ugly !!!

There is a few Busa's around here sporting the GSXR 1000 plastics out back. Very nice. The camel hump I could do without.

I rode my friend's 08 busa last week.We traded bikes.Aside from the continuous 'high frequency' vibration...it was a really fun bike to ride.Even though I rode it in 08...it felt much better this time.IDK why.I'd have to say...it's definitely equal to the 14R(or 14)in the ride department.More smooth in the shifting and stuff.Handling was VERY good.I didn't feel this way when I rode it the first time.

But also...I do like the styling of it.Even the turn signalsLOL!;)

I had my sights set on an 07 Busa when I first was deciding on a big sportbike.I somehow ended up at my local Kawi dealer.Saw the Black 07 14.Decided that was the right one.But the Busa IS a great bike.The shifting is so much clickier than the 14.IDK why Kawasaki couldn't do something with that...but they never have.

I've yet to ride a Suzuki with a poor shift. Never ridden a Hayabusa but I've had a couple of GSXR1100's and a GSXR1000 and the shift was as sweet as it gets. My 14R feels quite agricultural by comparison in that department. JMO

Personally I would be happy with either a color change, and or a 14RR with upspec suspension and some lighter wheels. Maybe even partner with an aftermarket exhaust company to get rid of the big cans. That would be real nice.

Having a CBR and a B-King I would agree with that statement. The FP shift star did help my C14 some though and I will probably try that in the 14R at some point.

new 10r

always but nothing on the 14r .... :(

On the 10R the ECU works in conjunction with wheel speed, brake pressure, throttle position, engine RPM and throttle opening sensors. This high level of chassis orientation awareness means the ECU can adapt to changes in tires and even road camber.

Giving the 2016 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R ABS motorcycle a distinct advantage over its competition is the Showa Balance Free Fork (BFF). This is the first mass-production motorcycle application for the fork that was jointly developed with Showa in World Superbike competition.

* NEW Lightweight titanium exhaust system

* NEW Chassis with new steering head position, swingarm rigidity and length, longer wheelbase creates balanced handling
* NEW Front cowl provides better aerodynamics, improves high-speed handling, reduces rider buffeting
* NEW Showa Balance Free Fork (BFF) and Balance Free Rear Cushion (BFRC) derived directly from World Superbike racing, first-time used on a mass-production motorcycle
* NEW Brembo M50 monobloc front calipers, 330mm Brembo rotors and master cylinder provide increased braking power, feel and heat dissipation
* NEW Electronics suite utilizes a Bosch five-axis IMU for KEBC Kawasaki Engine Braking Control, KLCM Kawasaki Launch Control Mode, KIBS Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Braking System, Corner Management Function, S-KTRC Sport Kawasaki TRaction Control and KQS Kawasaki Quick Shifter

You tube- 2016 ZX14R/ZZR1400..

zzr1400 model designator is euro or other than usa market edition. So, assuming we cant get the sporty ohlins edition again = no real changes.

The second link with the sport performance model I assume will be the only edition with the brembo's and such; or do you think all versions get that. my guess is no. I think it stops good enough with the std frt brakes, cant imagine how it stops with the bigger rotors and brembo's.

Next big question, how much is a sport performance model over a regular bike? I bet its a big price hike.
