Default Any Touched a new ZX14

I have read the the press stuff and the magazines , has anyone touched or see up close the new ZX14 yet? I am guessing there is no one with seat time yet but if there is let me know. Trying to figure out if I am selling the Turbo Busa

DC International motorcycle show.

What I can say about it it: It feels bigger than any busa, it feels heavier than any busa, its uglier than any hyabusa.

Note to manufacturers: Completely covering the frame with plastic is ugly. The frame must be visible, or it's not a motorcycle.

I started reading Chris Ulrich's write up in the latest RRW.

I haven't finished the article but I had Mexican for lunch so I'm sure I'll have plenty of reading time as soon as I get home from work.

I finally sat on one and it has moved to the back of my maybe list. (in part because the dealer I saw it is expecting a 1199 at the end of the month and I have to see that before I spend the money)
