This was probably the ZX-14 model that Kawasaki should have released back in 2000 unfortunately they didn't get it right until 6 years later. Furthermore why Kawasaki calls it two different names is still a marketing mystery to me. However dropping the 'R' seems sensible since it is no longer marketed as a race track ready bike. So what ever you want to call the Kawasaki it is a seriously nice bike - I've even tried and almost bought one. However there is one big issue - in my opinion - the ZX-14 is not better than the Hayabusa - different yes - but not ultimately different enough - and that's why I didn't buy one. The remap for 2008 further indicates that they are are still trying to make them even more similar in feel. Choosing between them has to be based on each motorcycle's style or design, brand allegiance and other factors. Kawasaki does claim that ZX-14 has more power than the Hayabusa but its not significant difference or one you can feel at first glance but could be enough for you. Finally there is a relatively big price difference and always has been between the Kawasaki and the Suzuki. It's always been about $1000. The Kawasaki is not $1000 a better bike in my opinion. Both are very similar both will impress. Check
out the other specification pages for mores details.
