BIINGO! ^^^ While I originally thought I wanted the ZX-14R engine I figure it would guzzle gas like a V8 Corvette.

A modern Corvette with a 6 speed manual can easily get 30mpg, hardly what I would call "guzzling".

It can, but wonder how many actually do? ;)

Maybe Kawasaki will produce two different models of C-14's.

One stock like it is now for all the weak riders who want a stock pipe on their bikes and never ever go over 70mph, and the ZX-14R engine for those of us who know that a .44 Magnum is much more fun than a .357 Magnum!!

You may not need the extra power...but it is damn nice to know it is there!!

you really need to move outta Florida, and ride some roads in West Virginia, or Pa.,
you may find the bike has all you need.....

Like I said before, there is nothing "weak" about a rider that doesn't waste money and time on replacing a factory muffler which results in nothing but a change in looks or sound.  Your postings are coming across as pretty insulting and/or "elitist"...

I changed my muffler in order to get better looks and sound  :-[  Bike has plenty of power for me as it is.
I am poorer, and I sure don't feel any stronger  ;D

If I wanted, I can already do 140 MPH two up with my wife screaming in my ear.

I don't think adding another 20-30 MPH on the top end would be good for my marriage.   :)
Good point I have a car(VW R32 04) and a bike that I believe have identical 168 mph top speeds...I did 140 in the car once windows & sunroof open--way fun-but I only did it once.
I am reasonably sure I've hit 130 +/- on the Connie...smooth as silk even with a pillion but not happening very often.

I have put the girl in the 12 o'clock position from a dead stop during a drag race, so I guess it'll do. 8)

I came off a ZX14, but got very sore after 12 hours in the saddle.  The ZX14 has stupid powah!

I loved having it, even though I knew it was overkill for the street.

The more power you have on tap, the more touchy it is at low speeds. The Connie is nice and forgiving, for the all out grunt it has.

I would welcome more power, but know it comes at a price. ;)
