There is nothing poofy about the ZX14. I own one. I traded my 03 Busa on it.
It is a better bike than the 03 Busa. It goes as well, handles better and brakes better. It is let down by an appalling gearbox which crashes ointo 1st 2nd and 3rd and fairing locators that break at the drop of a hat and Kawasaki will not warranty the problem. I used to own a ZZR 1100 which had a better gearbox than the ZX14. It only crashed into 1st and 2nd gear.
It is not, however, a better bike than the 08 Busa. I rode Tom Ruxtons 08 and it is a dam fine bike. A very slick gearbox and everything else at least as good as the ZX and in mosy cases better.
I am very seriously considering purchasing a new Busa.
You would be very foolish to think the ZX is an inferior bike in terms of performance. It goes bloody well. It is all down to the rider. Watch out if you take on a ZX rider who knows what he is doing.
