The ZX-14 is so not my thing. I mean, it's bigger and heavier than my Sprint, and I find that a handful at times (although to be fair, it's much better than I ever expected for sport riding). Also, it's as ugly as a bike can be - in my personal opinion, it's like they tried to out-do the Hayabusa in ever way including homeliness. All the same, a bike worthy of respect and maybe a little fear.
I was thinking of a Speed Triple. But... I dunno, the Gixxer was just such a great bike. Insurance costs aside, I'd run right back to one.
