too much "going on" for me.
So, where's the Z1200 or Z1400
I prefer my thousand over that. That is very... busy?
oh i dunno, the usal things like getting rid of the can, get a fender eliminator..
it'd have to be fucking cheap to buy that instead of a z1000.
more titanium than my bike
Not a STREETFIGHTER!!!!!

Need to build it with the latest 1400 motor.
Full on, not castrated or re-tuned.
Kwak used to be the Mutt's Nuts, Z900's, H2's etc.
Now like the rest they're safe and sensible and dont
have a naked bike with ball's in their line up.
Suzuki are no better. They need a full on naked GSXR1000
or a stripped down naked Busa.
Why the Hell do they persist in putting the ugliest/hugest/heaviest looking exhausts on these new models?
It is too busy, with too much mass up front, looks like it been in a headon already!
Even if they used a zx12r motor in it and tuned it for a bit more torque, that would seem to be the natural K evolution.
no, it sure ain't a ducati.

I think you'll find the exhausts have a lot to do with ever stricter emissions. They've probably got a cat or 2 in them as well.
At least they're attempting to style them on this, the ZX14 one's look like 2 blimp shaped anchors, each muffler has a cat in it, and in the 08 on they also have a third cat in the header as well.
Yeah these were designed for the road not the workshop floor...
There has been talk of a Naked Kwak 1400,
but the stuff i've seen so far has been done on potatoshop
and looks more like a V-Max, M109, V-Rod, old ZL1000 type
Big Gay Cruiser than anything you'd go hunting with....
Yeah but do you remember the original BKing concept bike back in like 2002 2003, it was supercharged.... and looked shit hot
Still the maddest of the Nakeds though.
Rest are either too small, to "cruiser",
have stupid size wheels/shaft drive,
or are low tech "retro".
B-King has a LOT of down sides,
but its the only bike in its class.
The Ugly Bastard, heavy hitter, with sporty running gear Class !
A streetfightered Busa is still better though.

Yeah Kawasaki shits me a bit they've got the DAEG but they won't bring it to Australia, a bike that could easily compete with the current bandit. Or they could just pump it up to 1400.

Yep that is awesome, I think at the time they also had a hayabusa engined car
I like the DAEG (ZRX-revamp) but its still a bit too retro.
Twin shocks, no USD's, etc. Cant see why its not imported.
If the GSX1400 is gone it find find a few new bike buying fan's.
I always thought the ZRX was the more "sporty" option anyway.
The concept version was waaaay better than the final production version,
but I didnt mind the Gen1 Busa's that Lazareth converted.....
