"great news for me !!!!" +1 I was wondering if Kawasaki would release ZX14R with a supercharger. Now I feel much better as I love my 2014 color.

$500 more gets you Brembo Monobloc front brakes. I see no mention of a different ABS controller, or if Brembo master cylinder comes with it. IMO the Nissin caliper works well enough already.

The Euro version with full Ohlins would have been great, but apparently we here in NA are unworthy.

And they have added the vented spoiler screen as standard now!
I bought that upgrade ages ago and have sung its praises on other threads ever since.

Ahhh. Vindicated...

It seems that every year they drop another color option, and make them worse year as well. With a couple exceptions or course.

I would like the 2016 color better but the green between the fins look like cheap faded stickers.

Nothing to be dissappointed about, was and still is a great bike. Be nice if they got a little more creative with the paintwork though. Maybe in NA colors don't sell well or something?

Just turned 52K on my 2012 and will put in an order for the 2016 metallic matte carbon gray bike. My green bike still has 14 months transferable factory warranty. Hope it helps sell a high milage bike.

Full - I hate to say it, but I had to copy your first pic into Paint, then the second one into a separate Paint iteration and toggle back-and-forth to find the difference!

So, I see it now ... but have no preference. Both look good

Like the green a little better. Black might look better with all black fairing covers might look pretty cool and lose the green rim tape.

Looks like we will we be safe for at least another year--maybe two. The only thing I wish my bike had that it does not is ABS which could save your ass in a panic stop.
