I would also like to thank my beloved Sharon for helping me out :D (Fireblade)

thread_title: Top Speed, Quarter mile

message: I labeled a couple of statements with the  and  tags. Would like to hear feedback.
; 
* It competes with the Honda CBR1100XX and the Suzuki GSX1300R, but seems to have made them obsolete, and led to rumors of Suzuki updating its Hayabusa.
* Top speed is restricted electronically to 300 kilometers per hour (187 mph) according to a gentlemen's agreement between Kawasaki and Suzuki.
; 
* With an experienced rider,[neutrality disputed] this bike can reach 100 kilometers per hour from a standing start in under 2.5 seconds,
* Although the ZX-14 has almost unprecedented straight line performance,its relatively hefty weight means that it still cannot seriously challenge the current 1000 cubic centimeter sportsbike class in a racetrack environment (including Kawasaki's own ZX-10R).

replies: text: Well I agree with the statement about the heft making it slow in the racetrack enviroment, and I've seen it carried out many times (with Hayabusa's at least) I couldn't find you a source stating that. I do remember reading a couple of bike magazine's reviews of the bike that stated as much (it's strictly common sense as well). Maybe someone more industrious than I could grab a source.--BHC 06:47, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  POV and source problems 

message: I can't find any independent news media that mention that Kawasaki commissioned a custom ZX-14 or explain why it matters. They wanted a bike with a lot of bling on it to turn heads at their booth at Daytona. So what? Namedropping alone on Fifth Gear doesn't establish why it's worth informing the whole wide world that this custom bike existed. There's a million custom bikes made every year. Is there or isn't there an independent source that says this custom bike mattered because ____________ ?  --Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:27, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Seriously, the only three countries in the world which are not using the metric system are Liberia, Myanmar and United States of America. I don't write this because i want (whatever you are using) excluded, but perhaps the system that 98,5% of the world are using should be included?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaffeburk (talk • contribs) 03:06, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: No metric? Which article are you complaining about? Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 has most everything converted to metric. Please feel free to use the  template to fix the handful of items that aren't converted. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 03:11, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: England still posts distances in miles and speed limits in mph, and fuel economy figures are frequently given in mpg, power in hp. So the U.S. really isn't the only non-metric country. — Brianhe (talk) 15:00, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
