Kawasaki has introduced an updated ZZR1400 for 2008 but can anyone tell the difference?

We took the 2007 and 2008 machines to the Bruntingthorpe proving ground to see just what the difference is.

Now THAT......is a wheelie ;)

Adam Child - top bloke, Kawasaki rider, all round biker. The ZZR is the most awesome machine ever built in my opinion when it comes to the big sports tourers and anyone who thinks they need the Hyabusa because "its the fastest bike in the world" needs a penis extension instead. I've actually heard guys say they've had 600's and thou's and they NEEDED the power of the Hyabusa!!!!! WTF? I'm NOT knocking Busa owners and its just my opinion but if you own a Hyabusa because you think your too good for slow 600's or the 'only mildly quick' 1000 bikes then you deserve abuse. In fact they should call it the "High Abuser". On the other hand if you own a Busa to be a bit different or actually like the looks then fair enough. There are just too many 'pub' talk warriors out there who own radical bikes but would be the slowest on a track day everytime. Back to the Kwak; The ZZR is a much more sophisticated bike, it looks 1000% better than the Busa and it looks like it could kick an arse or two whereas the Busa looks like it isn't finished yet or has melted in a fire but was retreived halfway through its death. :) Keep it up Adam.
