I think the flames are a little too flashy for something thats already stereo-typed enough as it is.
I'm not a fan of the larger bikes, especially due to how they are used most of the time.
The Lot: it is what you make of it. I've been more then three times, seen more then two accidents/incidents, I go when friends are going - and usually ride two up for the occasion. It seems to be getting attraction from an older and younger crowd at the same side which is interesting to see.
ZX-14 is a monster, an ugly, go fast monster.
