Yesterday I finally got a chance for my first ride on a ZX14. A dealership has a completely stock "Arrest Me" Red 2006 with 4900 miles. I only rode it about 15 miles but let me say first and foremost - Holy Cow! That Is Insane Speed! Scary Power! Obviously peak hp is not an issue but there was one thing I didn't like regarding the engine. It felt a little soft until about 6500-7000 rpms, then hold on! I prefer a smoother power delivery with good torque down low then power building in a very linear manner.
So here's my question. What is the difference in regards to power delivery between a stock bike, one with a TRE, one with flies out and one with a TRE and flies out? Does any scenario add much grunt down low? Do they smooth out the power delivery? Make it more linear?
