2006 Kawasaki ZX-14 review from United States of America
"A nice balanced bike with serious power and brakes"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Needs more mid range punch.
General comments?
A nice compromise sports bike for older guys like me.
Good top end power.
Predictable, stable handling.
Brakes require one finger, two at most.
Eats tires.
Needs some more mid range punch.
Has a UJM feel - nothing exceptional but the power and the brakes.
Good looking though.
