Yup, the ABS one is 584 lbs, roughly 100 - 115 pounds heavier than most of the literbikes (ready to ride, fully-fueled). But it has the most powerful motor in the world, making it forget all about that weight when accelerating, and it has a great brake setup, helping it do the same. I used to own a ZX-12R, and enjoyed it quite a bit. The 14R has taken a few years to iron out some issues (weird fueling, wonky handling). But this third generation is now back on my list, especially with ABS and traction control. I don't do enough trackdays anymore to justify the 10R over the 14R, and could honestly enjoy myself quite a bit yanking the 14 around a racetrack if I do go every once in awhile.
