Sad to read
Hi guys,
Gosh, you know, when I posted this thread, I wasn't expecting all the emotional experiences you have shared. It wasn't my intent to bring back any sad or hurt feelings either. I only wanted to share this short video, of that nutcase on the bike, over doing it!
So now, I hope some one, even one guy, will read this whole thread, before he goes out to purchase a crotch rocket, and has a change of heart.
Or learns to ride safely and without the horseplay and goofing off, showing his stupidity.
Driving motor vehicles and riding motorcycles is a privilege and not a right.
Don't abuse it!

But:
Kawasaki has released a slew of images of the 2012 ZX-14R, a motorcycle that will feature new electronic enhancements, a reworked engine and slightly restyled bodywork for next year.
As reported by Asphalt & Rubber, the engine block will be stroked to 1,441cc and the cylinder head will be ported and polished for greater flow. In addition, the ZX-14R will make use of a higher compression ratio and new cam timing. No one's saying exactly how much power that will all add up to, but Kawasaki calls the bike the world's fastest-accelerating production motorcycle.
In addition to the reworked innards, the 2012 ZX-14R will also come packing traction control (sounds like a good idea...) for the first time as well as a throttle-by-wire system. The KTRC traction control system will offer the rider three different settings, all selectable from the handlebar and viewable from the gauge cluster. The bike will also features a few changes to the frame for a little more rigidity. Stay tuned for more details.
