The Meanie is a mid 13 second bike, the ZX14 is in the upper 9's. The ZX14 is a rocket ship plain and simple, but it has a much more agressive rider stance than the Mean Streak. It's kinda like comparing apples to oranges. Sure, they both have two wheels, but the similarites end right about there.

If you enjoy carving corners and silly speeds, then it's the ZX14 hands down. But if your idea of fun is crusing around and enjoying the smells and the sights as you ride by - then go for the Mean Streak. Not that the ZX14 can't be driven slow you understand. I suppose it will go as slow as a cruiser. But the reverse isn't true. You can not ride a Mean Streak at the speeds a ZX14 can reach.
