Nice!Torque figures there are interesting.I'll stay with my zx.That beemer's a fine bike though.The zx will never keep up in the tight stuff with a bike like that....but that's cool.With me.

Grn, it depends on who is piloting the Big Ninja. I bet some of you guys can rip it up in the twisties. Kinda' reminds me of "yellow wolf" flying on his Goldwing on the Dragon's Tail. Most liter bike pilots would not dare try to keep up. Amazing stuff. Check it:

I was riding with a guy with a Goldwing when I had a ZRX1100.I was surprised how quick he was in the corners.I kept up with him but barely.He was 62 and I was 45.He was my ex-wifes insurance agent.Funny thing is he had a VFR 750 and I wasted him in the corners.We stopped to talk and he showed me his VFR club card with his insurance business.I said thats the same insurance my wife has.he said I'm her agent.Strange world.

I feel that the ZX14R does better in the corners for me than my R1 did due to it being a better fit. I always felt like I was a circus bear on a clown bike on that thing. Can I keep up with the BMW? With a fair rider? Probably not. But if he wants to race, I'll say ok. "From here to Vegas and then a foot race."
I bought this thing for unparalled acceleration, good to great handling and excellent comfort.

I just posted this for fun. If I found a video of the ZX14R racing a goldwing, I would post that too. cause it would be funny.
