I can't believe that so many people here are judging the bike on just the specifications. Surely any bike is about being ridden not sitting there looking at the specs
Why the obsession with tank size, practical fuel range should be the deciding factor. Small tank with good economy means less weight up high when fully fuelled. MCN averaged 43 mpg (imperial gallons) on their long term test ZZR1400 & I can guarantee that they are not easy on the throttle, which would give a full tank range approaching 200 miles. The ZZR1400 is already known to have good relative fuel economy at high cruising speed. The 1400GTR has been provided with a milder motor so unless Kawasaki have messed up the range should be even better.
No one expected the ZZR to be that much better than the 'busa but it is in most aspects & Kawasaki are aiming the GTR squarely at competing with the Yam sports tourer, I am confident that in use they will make the yam look dated.
End of the day 'you pays your money & takes your choice', hope you are happy with yours, I'll wait to see what the GTR is like.......
