0 to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds...you don't need more. 1/4 Mile time, about 9.65 seconds for the normally aspirated 1441cc Kawasaki ZX-14R. Welcome to the Nutnfancy review (finally!) of this great looking, great performing Supersport motorcycle.
This might be an interesting review for you for many reasons. First the beautiful mountain backdrop is scenic and also representative of where I run this motorcycle often. Second, I own both the Hayabusa and the ZX-14 and I will draw direct comparisons between both of them. Each is wonderful and I have lots of miles in the seat on both. Third, this is a user's perspective, not a paid dealer or mfr promotional piece...I pay all the bills on these bikes with my real job! Fourth, I attempt to capture what makes this Kawasaki ZX-14R special for you and introduce you to how it's perfect for the "SYLA" POU. This motorcycle is dripping with both 1st and 2nd Cool, and rates as one of my all time favorite bikes to ride.
Note also in the video, during filming of the ZX-14, a truck almost runs me over, easily killing me, on a lonely 2 lane highway as I slowly begin a merge into my own lane...this is also shown and serves to illustrate the point of constant vigilance in running your bikes. Indeed there's lots of inattention by drivers on the road.
We fight through the 30-40 mph winds at this mountain location (the mike works well!) and discuss the Kawasaki ZX-14R in terms of power, performance, reliability, economy/value, ergos, cargo capabilities, brakes, 2-up riding, suspension, cargo carrying and a bit more. Hayabusa is brought into the conversation but don't expect me to say anything bad about the also epic moto. Each of these large Supersports, for me, are supremely fast, cool, and soul fulfilling!
For sure the Kawasaki ZX-14R is a punisher against most other cars and even most, not all, motorcycles. This is from my own experience. But at its core, the bike is docile, economical, reliable, cool, comfortable, and super fun. Surprisingly is makes a perfect daily driver. Combining all these attributes into a package that costs this little is truly astonishing. Patiently observing the secondary market, like Cycletrader.com, can yield a clean low miles ZX-14R for you, just like this pretty red 2013 model reviewed here. Buy with confidence, enjoy your ZX-14R, train, ride lots and lots, and make God your riding partner.
Thanks for your patience in me putting together this MRV for ya'll...it's taken me a bit of work and time! Another by request review video for my riding friends here in Patreon.

"Guys sometimes think that if you love one thing, that it diminishes your love for the other thing." - Nutnfancy. I bet owning the Hayabusa and the Ninja is like loving two children. You love them both, but in different ways. Thanks for sharing the excellent motorcycle review! I enjoy these videos, even though I do not own a motorcycle.

Yes, that is the stock seat, called a saddle seat. The engine is a 1441cc inline 4. I own 4 2012's and 1 2013 (all limited editions.) I love them as much as the day I bought them. Linear power and intuitive steering with very good breaks. I'm also 6'3" and weight just over 300lbs, but the bike fits me great. It is a more refined bike than the Busa, but I like the Busa too.

I've had both, and the Hayabusa was just a bit more comfortable for me, I'm riding the 14R now, and I'd pick it over the busa by just a hair if I had to pick again. It does a few thing just a little bit better, and when you open it up it roars just a tick more. I rode about 300 miles today on my 14R and I don't feel like I've done more than run around town a bit. It's seriously a pretty well rounded Superbike that can tour with a bit of adaptation.

All I can say Nutn is FINALLY we get the review of the top dog of all motorcycles!!! You only showed/teased a very brief, and I mean brief photo of your red 14 a LONG TIME AGO...and to the best of my knowledge, haven't mentioned it since - WTH was with that!?!? When I saw the video where you showed the red 14, I was totally looking forward to a fun review vid!!! Anywho, as they say, you can't make this stuff up. After selling my 4th, yes 4th ZX-14R, and LITERALLY just receiving my check YESTERDAY from the dealership where I sold it on consignment...you post your review video!!! Good god, the timing!!! 😜 I am now "very unfortunately" done riding motorcycles permanently as I can simply no longer justify the risk vs. reward equation. So it is with a heavy heart and a bittersweet laugh, I am about to watch your review of my beloved, top choice of all motorcycles...the KAWY ZX-14R!!! Thank you for all of the moto vids that you have done over the past several years - with Tactical D, Last Suspect, Bugget, Mrs. Nutn, Matt, and all of your other friends, they've always been a lot of fun to watch! 👍

Bike was fantastic both on the flat and the mountains. Handled a 40 mph plus crosswind for 150 miles. Never had a worry. If you're careful with it, one could be a newish rider and grow into it. But careful is the word. Great video on a bike I love.

It gets about 380 mile to the tank under reasonable conditions other than that it's a beast sport tourer.

Awesome thorough review.... but.. I have to chime in on what you said about suspension... and this is coming from years of experience and owning several motorcycles... if you do nothing to your suspension settings then at the very least! You should be setting your sag for proper rider weight! Compression and rebound are personal preference but proper suspension sag (spring rate) is probably the single most important setting on any motorcycle. It has the greatest effect on the ride/feel and performance of the motorcycle. Without proper sag your motorcycles suspension is NOT performing the way it should be. There are several videos on how to do this but a general setting is 20mm of bike sag and 30mm of rider sag 15-30mm for rear (with all gear and passengers). Set your spring rate!!!

I have ridden for a long time. Look into adjusting your suspension correctly. Normally takes 2 people and 30min-1hr. Both front and back spring tensions, rebound, and damper. There are KZfaq videos that teach you how to do it, and it is necessary. Everyone is a different weight and requires their motorcycle/scooter suspension set up individually. Great video!

I never want more power, but I definitely would like more comfort. I’m 26 and 5’ 7” so I put up with the aggressive ergos and enjoy the great power and handling. But my next bike will probably be more comfortable. I would love to demo a ZX-14 someday!

I've looked at maybe selling the busa and getting the Zzr1400 but, you've now convinced me to keep my bike. I do like the busa quite a lot, its just with this covid stuff going on I've only done 200 miles in the last year. I just really need to go out and ride.

Very fair and realistic normal man video. I own a Ducati 1299, but am gonna keep it and buy a ZX14. You are exactly right. I used to own a 2008 ZX14 with a Yoshi pipe and power commander. It was super smooth, plenty of usable power, and very good wind protection. I am 6ft1in 285 lbs. I bought a Ducati and it is insane. Makes the ZX14 stock go to shame in every area. I got in so many high speed chases and hit every corner and it sticks like velcro. The bad about Ducati...I will be dead very soon, so I only keep it as a track bike and there is zero wind protection for the Ducati and super uncomfortable. I want a ZX14 because it is super comfy, fast, will not corner as well, but is great for driving around. I kind of regret buying the Ducati, but i got money so whatever. The Ducati is a wicked bike and nothing compares, I test drove them all before buying. ZX14 is more of what I want as a daily driver. It's an awesome bike and my 4ft10in wife can sit on the back of it.

@nutnfancy 5 жыл бұрын

FJR1300 in all likelihood. More comfy, bigger windscreen, more weight on your ass on the splendidly comfy seat, and less weight on your hands. If I'm running all the way across in a straight shot, I'm placing a premium on comfort and alertness and hunching over a gas tank makes that bit harder after 13 hours. I've done the jump from UT to CA a bunch in the FJR and it's awesome for it. Feels like sitting on a lazy boy strapped to a missile.You even have a great windscreen that can rise up and give even more silence, which is amazing when you want to reposition and sit up to give your back a rest. In the busa and co, you're stuck hunching under the windscreen, which in itself is fairly cozy, but you need variation over time. The FJ has some good bags integrated too which stick close to the bike if you wanted to rig up aux tanks. You'll give up about 40 mph to the sport bikes though, but I'd say the restfulness makes up for it. Oil and gas reserves are good too, the FJ has a pretty big tank at 6.6gal IIRC. There was a ride report from a lady that drove up to alaska on her busa and really liked it, and it's definitely capable if you are willing to accept the limitations. It really would be something to sling across the U.S. at 188 mph. -Doodle

i have this exact one...including the rare red colour which is specific to the first gen II ZX14R. Kawasaki know EXACTLY what they are doing with this bike....it dominates and obliterates anything on the road, even owning an H2 will not give you an edge over this in real world circumstances. this rocket ship bounces pass the 300kph mark with ease in seconds and it will sit there without effort. there is not a rider on this planet that can convince me this machine has flaws....it is perfection. this is my affidavit 👊

The ZX-14r is in a class of its own. No other bike can match it for performance and comfort. There are bikes that can match its performance, but don't have the 14's comfort. There are bikes that are as comfortable, but don't have the 14's performance.

Awesome review, man! On Zx6R right now, and it's already too much power and too much almost everything for my skills. Love the stopping power though, you can never have too much of it. But I will change it to a battleship like this, most probably ST 1100 or FJR. Zx14R maybe some day, why not.

Cool review. I have always wanted a FJR.

At 2:55 ... “One of the main reasons you get a ZX14 is because you just like looking cool...” (camera pans the bike revealing a storage case that looks like a portable Doppler radar 😂) **I’m LOL, but I’ll be getting similar storage on mine! I’m an old guy too, and in this case, it’s function over looks. Made me smile 😊 LoveTNP and all the awesome videos, you do a great job👍👍

With all that wind, i would not trust the side stand I have the Kawasaki accessory center stand on my '06. A must have for chain lubing and tire replacement.

I'm in Idaho. I ride a Honda Blackbird and want a zx14 r but honestly the Blackbird is faster than I have any need for. Here in Idaho big trucks and Harleys are the only thing that try and challenge my old Honda and it's comical. The resale of these types of bikes is not good around here.

Hang on to that one, I’m pretty sure they’re going up in value. That old sport bike site gives some good insight to what’s going up in value. -doodle

If I were cross shopping these two the deciding factor for me would be; I think the zx-14r looks really good, and the hayabusa looks like dog poop. Totally subjective. The intent of these bikes is definitely more interceptor than fighter. What I mean by that is in combat jets fighters are designed for dog fighting. That is, close in, tight turning fights, which mandate maneuverability. Interceptors are all about big engines, and covering long distances really fast. They're typically designed around the engines, have smaller wings, don't turn as well, but man can they move. That's what I think of when I look at these bikes, and I think fighter jet when I see 600 or 1000 superbikes.

Totally agreement on that. Busa is ugly as hell. Not that I'm biased in any way...hands down the zx14r is better bike than any busa period
