    I bought my atomic silver ZZR 1400 brand new after trading in the ZX9 in May 09. I've only covered 2000 miles on it so far but this is machine that ticks all the boxes for me. The below 5000 revs issue has gone, it is responsive and feels lighter to ride than my old ninja I'm guessing because all the weight is low down. Just fitted the SW Motech quick release pannier rack so no more Oxford throw overs! ABS is a welcome bonus too. Double bubble screen makes a vast difference. Will be keeping this rocket ship/cruiser for a long time I think just need to remember that plod will take a dim view of its cruising at 100 mph at 5000 revs. :-)

    Having always owned the Worlds fastest production superbikes it was a toss up between the Hyabussa and the 2009 ZZR1400. I never liked the riding position on the Hyabussa so I test piloted a 2008 model Kawasaki ZZR1400; pretty awesome, so bought the Candy green 2009 ABS model I had been eyeing up (£8000) having being promised the alleged below 5000 lack of grunt had gone. (Yes the expression Eye Candy did come to mind). All I can say is the 2009 is absolutely mental!! Spends most of its ti ...

    Traded in my 06 plate Zed 1000, on a complete whim, wasnt expecting to change, but fell in love with the Kawasaki ZZR 1400 looks in the showroom. Bought the bike without a test ride, and i absolutely love it!!! Read reviews about nothing below 5k, and you MUST get the flies removed...Not sure what everyone is talking about...i find this bike awesome, and not a newbie to hyper sports tourers as i owned previously a Blackbird.

    The Kawasaki ZZR 1400 is a verry nice bike to ride. Excellent for rider and passenger, smooth through gears and a nice feel on the road.

    I am extremely happy with this bike, I used to have a blackbird which was good but the zzr is great. I would not think of changing it for anything.

    After 4 years on a Blackbird I have just run in my new ZZR 1400. First Kwakker I've had. Bikes pre Blackbird have been Triumph Daytona 955, Bandit12, Bandit6 and (20 years ago) the original CB 750 having learnt on a 250 Super dream. So, fairly 'Hondarised'. The Blackbird was/is excellent. Faultless power curve, flexible, comfortable with 1 or 2 up and fantastically reliable. Downsides minor, but now looking dated with poor front end. The ZZR is a revelation in the handling department - loads mor ...

    Sold a '99 Blackbird and bought a new 56 1400. Took it abroad with the missus and all the luggage (Germany/Austria/Italy/France). What a pain. To overtake from 70mph in top I had to drop a gear or two to get anything out of it. No guts at all below 5000rpm. Handling much more focussed than the 'Bird but overall a poor second to the Honda. Two weeks after returning I put it in for another Blackbird, a better allround bike by far.

    Best sport tourer. It's an incredible bike. I own a K7 (2007) pearl black Kawasaki ZZR 1400 and after 10 months and 6700km I still think I've made the right choice for my needs! Brakes, turn in, comfort for 2, horsepower, torque, equipments, and many more are the good points.

    25 years riding 34 bikes, 7 weeks old, 1900 miles, tremendous, comfortable, low 40's mpg upto 100mph, just pure mile eating heaven. Don't care i dropped it or that it eats rear tyres, think mine might have another 1000 miles in it. Just loving it, real world biking, a more powerful ZX9R on steriods as far as I am concerned. I never have a negative thought, dying to ride it every day. Planning trips right left and center, what more needs to be said, I was a bike slut but now i have settled down.

    I have a red 2006 model, still stock.Top sports tourer. Needs top roads to cruise at 200+km/h which it could do in safety and comfort.Poweful gutsy motor pulls like a train without having to rev its guts out. Climbs hills with little or no extra throttle. Long day rides of hundreds of miles is a breeze. High speed cruising on West Australian back roads which are little better than in darkest Africa, it feels safe with fantastic brakes.LOOKS are personal but I would like it to have a rear like th ...

    Utterly desirable still. Pity about the licence issue.

    My Kawasaki ZZR 1400 is a great bike. With the SW motech removable pannier and tail racks can add luggage and devour continents for breakfast. Been to the south of France on mine, with the missus on the back. Bonus of the quick release racks is you can dump the baggage and go mental if the mood takes you. Fuel mapping means it is a bit tame below 5k rpm - needs winding up if you want a quick launch, but man does it pull once it gets into its stride. Overall a great allrounder - for touri ...
