I was wondering what happened to our new 14 threads.

Well, I only read one article but it claimed that the low and mid range were the focus. NO incrEASE IN PEAK HP. Ok. fine. useable. Not nearly as enticing as stock 200 rwhp/200 mph top speed.

My old 14 is looking better to me again.

You want o sell bikes, you have to come up with impressive numbers. The numbers are already not 100% accurate and we all know that. Don't tell us NO increase in peak hp!!

That would be a good way to keep the old 14s selling. Maybe they don't want a bike that is too good.

^^^^^
Zerk's post above -- "linky" just clicky da linky and reedy.

" The already stonking 200bhp peak power of the bike is also unlikely to change much as Kawasaki has concentrated all its efforts on improving the mid and low range torque and engine refinement."
