			Why can't they follow Suziki's suit like the euro's and make a naked with Superbike like performance/handling.
Isn't that what the Z1000 isn't ?

160hp est
210kg WET est

Rear Brakes: Nissin single-piston caliper, 220mm disc

It's being reported as a de-tuned gsxr motor, just like Tuono & S1000 have both de-tuned superbike motors.
All those "superbike" naked's practically have all the superbike goodies, 2014 Z1000 has very little from the "11+ ZX10R.
If Kawi offered a ZX10R naked (Zeddy equivalent) from factory.

			It'll be a supercharged zx14 replacement. Full fairing. That's the way it's looking to me any way.

Looking at model updates in the existing line, the ZX14 would be the replacement.

			Wonder if they found a way to fit the supercharged setup from their jetskis into a road bike... 300hps would be pretty insane on a bike! 
  hahaha
