Blue.

The blue color looks slower than the green or black

So I picked black for my 2012 Concours 14 ABS.

First thing I had to buy for it, before seats, electronics, tank protectors, etc., was high quality polish, carnuba wax, and both applicators and buffing rags.

I'm letting it alone right now, its getting dusty but no matter. Once I get it all buttoned back up, I'll roll it out and give it good cleaning, then polish it to get the swirls out, and then wax it.

To be repeated weekly all summer.

At least the shaft drive doesn't polute the back end like a chain.

My first Kawasaki, the H1, was green. Kawasaki green. My H2 was blue. My Z1R was burnt orange. My GPS1100 was ... boring, and I don't remember what color it was. My ZX11 was black. My ZX14 was metallic black saphhire blue (black for all intents and purposes), until it became all carbon fiber.

I love the black bikes, but poster above is right, its a lot of work keeping it looking good.

COG members are fastidious about cleaning and waxing their bikes, there is a high bar I will have meet the first COG event I go to, or I will get ragged on. So this bike will stay cleaner than any bike I ever owned.

I've had cars before that cost me Saturday mornings every week, but I used an electric polish/buffer on them. Might use it on my Connie. One example, German acrylic laquer black is gorgeously deep, but it wasn't clear coated so to keep it deep I had to get after it once a week without fail. More if it rained. Heh.

Best watch that buffing wheel my friend(if you're going to use one).These babies are not painted like a car.You get THIS bodywork hot with a wheel...yer toast.And please...don't turn that statement into..."Now you're saying I don't know what I'm doing'...Extreme amounts of polishing and waxing can be counterproductive to what you're looking for...I know....I've done it.And Black is the worst color for trying to get perfect.

I was just told by my dealer that Kawasaki informed him that the green is now sold out. Only existing stocks at dealers if you want the S/E. (my S/E is at the dealer now). Anyone else hear this same info.?

their's green se all over the country... you have to check with other or bigger dealers near your area.

there should be leftovers don't see the bike selling out for 14 grand and high insurance.

one dealer last week told me he still had 30 to 40 still coming on order... go to cycle trader you will find all you want..just have good credit and fat bank account and your golden.

If you want a color that's fairly low maintenance,yet is striking out in the light...I'd go with the Green.Blue is very very nice as well.That Black...OMG...deadly...and harder than hell to keep looking good.

early on when i checked around... some dealers i spoke with said they did not ever order any zx14 it's a small market and they sell alot more 6 hundreds.


some dealers near me still have green se and they been there for 8 weeks.... just bring bank or good credit.

but then again i could be wrong....but if i was betting on things i say there will be leftovers.

and if the colors change next year which they will.. and everybody wants the silver one..the 2012 will be going for a nice discount.
