Levers are $400 ea.

So much as a scratch on the plastic totals it.

Impressive yes, but I don't think I'll ever find it attractive.  Granted it's not as ugly or expensive as that Honda debacle...

it will never cease to astound me how kawasaki took one of the meanest, coolest looking bikes out there and turned it into that.

ZX14 is a sport tourer, and it does the job quite well, riding buddy of mine in Arkansas has one that he and his wife ride on and I hesitate to follow him in to corners at speed. For twities it does just fine and is capable of handling corners at speeds well beyond anything that should ever be done on the street.

Not doubting it's competence.  I'm just saying it's not appealing to me over all.
