You know every one seems to be putting TOO much mysticism into the electronics package for the new 14R, it's the same basic package that the 10R uses (Kawi didn't come up with a whole new system for the 14R, when they already have a tested package on the street), the 10R doesn't have a manually adjustable idle either... it also has KTRC, but aren't they are modding those out the ass just like any other bike? It may take a little more doing, prob a little more cash, but performance enhancing mods are possible with this one just as with the 10R. There is a PC for the 10R, so they will soon have one listed for the 14R. Once the bikes get into the hands of the masses, mods will be popping up left and right - just give it time and don't be disuaded by all the negatives.....

Nah...not me.I go with the flow(unless the flow is like,going over the cliff or somethin!Then it's "paddle like hell...I hear Banjo Music ).This may sound stupid...or dumb,or whatever.But....I honestly did not get this bike for added horsepower.Or torque.I've had such great success with my now gone bird that I knew this new one would be EVEN BETTER in every way.Just as I felt with my zx12,and getting the 14.All the stuff related to HP and Torque and all...that's fine.I never used all the power before anyway.I probably won't be using this one any different.HOWEVER...that Ktrac is gonna be.....sweet.My dealer told me today that having that on there is gonna,well,you know .(I don't think he was meaning...'a better rider')WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!


Course,if this baby performs like I think it's gonna...a 'mild' gearing change could be 'all she wrote'

I can't let that black one go. I'm chasing bung parts for the other bike. I sit on a duc and I about puked. I sit on the ape and I am in shoe fits all. What is with these idiots at ducsoup? They demand their shit pile steers? I'll show you some smart steeringeometry.

Piece of shit sits at a light, where as the 14 is gone in any throttle position. I gotta have that light switch move. Keep it coming Kawi. You have no idea [w/out the trac ctrl] you would light the tire up and sit there. But w/trac, I mean, that time is 'then some'; to gain the gap of the doorslammers; we go green with that kind of power out the gate; no slip; no air time.

If I were to write a mission statement.
