Over the last 4 years I would think about 90% of the owners and members here are interested in more power. Lots of slip-ons, full systems, air cleaners, timing advancers, ECU flashing, and hi perf. air cleaners have been the normal way of adding power, reducing weight and gaining new performance.
Everyone is trying to improve the breed so to speak....faster, stronger, lighter is always better and more fun.. We bought this wonderful machine to have lots of fun with it......so more fun, is faster, better acceleration, sharper curves is what everyone is enjoying and talking about.....
The larger engine is welcomed and will sell like hotcakes....especially to us that have the 1352 cc motor.....some are satisfied with stock...which is fine...to each his own.
Kawasaki and others must continue to develop new products or improve what is out there to stay in business......more power is the easiest way to attract new buyers.......
I just bought a new 2012 ZX14R today...and am looking forward to 215HP with all the technical advancements built into this new missile! Really don't need it....but it is just nice to know it is there!!
