Last Updated : 02 July 2012 This page compares the 1st generation Suzuki Hayabusa with the 1st Generation Kawasaki ZX-14 (ZZR 1400) specifications and performance! The ZX-14 or ZZR 1400 was released in 2006 after the demise of the ZX-12R. This was probably the 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 a marketing issue to possibly rekindle prior owners of ZZR1100 memories. However dropping the 'R' seems sensible. 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 fact that the original Hayabusa remained essentially unchanged since 1999 and a further two years after the release of the ZX-14 should tell you that Suzuki did the good job. Check
out the other specification pages for mores details.
