ZX14 Rumors

nhgunnut · 08-21-2011, 09:32 AM

Being a fan of big bore GT bikes, I am beginning to hear rumors of a change in in the 20112 ZX14 and it intrigues me . What is being thrown about is a change in Displacement to 1429cc traction control and ABS brakes. This along with a few rumored cosmetic changes are very enticing to me. Anyone with an inside line to Kawasaki?

I've also heard about a makeover and enhancements but no specifics and only hear say

On the ABS front the Concours 14 has it available. I can't imagine putting that system on the ZX-14 would be terribly difficult.

The same kind of people who would pay $18k for the new VMax, and apparently someone is because they're still making them. (or were as of model year 2011)

From $13,599 to $17,599? I can't see that happening.
