I will go ahead and say it! The 12 looks better!

Ok maybe it's because I have one now? but I personally think the 12 looks better then both the ZX14 and the busa! All though the ZX12 is a big bike but it still has that race track look to it! What do you all think ?

I think the ZX12 and ZX9 (which look quite similar) are the best looking bikes around.

Well I have to admit the 14 has that hate it or love it attitude, sh!t I just realized that we have another thing in common! But I love bikes of all clases and makes like I had a Cbr 6 back in the day then I got a R1 ( by far the sexiest liter bike) then I got the main bitch my 14 and soon will get a Harley not sure what model but something noisy and slow just to cruise around. But there's alot of very sexy bikes and good overall performers out there like the Ducatti 1098, Yamaha R1,R6, ZX12, ZX6,Hayabusa and the Gixxer 1000 are all great bikes but at the end of the day u just gotta make a decition and be happy with it, I made mine up and Im extremely happy with the decition and would never go back to riding anything less than the best croch rocket ever made the 14!!! Just my $.02

I gotta keep it real here LOL!

Busa atleast in 08 like the girl down the street growing up. Hell of a great looking face and front (once I got used to her) but her ass needs help. Hell I would ride her if I had the chance becuase you know it would be a good time!

The 14 has all of the performance I would want out of my 12 (if possible) but with the head light and the katana like side fairings it looks more like a tour then a sport bike.

The 12 is a large bike that still looks like a race bike in stock form!

of course this is just my 2 cents. I have to admit I would take any of these bikes over any of the smaller 1000's and under. I'm a big guy! LoL!

The 14 is considered a sport/tourer. it shows up on the insurance discount too.
I wanted a bigger sport bike especially when the wife and I ride. It's great for long distances. I also looked at the busa and disliked the ergonimics right away and that back end was butt ugly. Although it had 6 square inches of storage more than the 14.

the thing about the 12 is that air scoop under the fairing sux. I was gonna buy a 12 but they had a 9 beside it and it looked better. Did dig that green with flames paint job on the 12 though. The 12 is a great bike, and I have to agree from some angles the 14 is just dog ugly, but from some others its B E A U T I F U L. Dont ever ride a 14 boys....








It'll cost you money....









cause you'll have to have it...
