FAST??
Looks like some big snot that blew out from my busa!!
RE: ZX14 info - ROD - 21-04-2007
yes Tim keep us up to date we no you had a busa and made a big mistake by lending it to someone s you brought a  k but they all come back
RE: ZX14 info - BLACKZOOK - 21-04-2007
Nice work Tim, look like its all comming along well. Hopefully we can catch up for another Collie ride in the next few months.
RE: ZX14 info - Rocketrod - 21-04-2007
Yeah gotta get used to the backstabbing Tim,it was the same when i sold mine and went back to a viffer.Im sure the kwak is a very good bike and it has brakes that work.Some of the guys in here think that how much power your bike makes on the dyno and what quater mile time it does makes the bike.......Get over it.:eyes:
RE: ZX14 info - Speedzalot - 21-04-2007
I think the ZX14 is a fine bike but it's not for me thanks(It's more ugly than a bucket full of pigs c*******
).Plus I need/like a bike with bottom end power as it makes real world rideing simple particularly with a pillion on the back, and as a bonus the bus still has better handleing than the big K (just as well too cuase it wont stop with the brakes it has as stock:2funny:)
Honestly I think the new Busa will top the 14 after all it would not need much work to do so.
RE: ZX14 info - kawasuki - 21-04-2007
A 14 with a tre or the flys removed has more bottom end than the busa.Its a great motor I,m just not fussed on the bike.definately not droolworthy.As for the busa brakes,easily fixed.I doubt a 14 doesn,t handle better than a busa,the wheels are much lighter for a start.The busa is the best do it all bike out there and can be tailored to be great at just about anything.If a zx14 scrapes it fairings before its pegs on the road(not track) unless you lift it,you never going to get great cornering speed out of it.

I like that FAT LOOK of that 14 above Raz
each to there own
RE: ZX14 info - RaZz0R - 22-04-2007
just stirin the pot mate :)
tbh - the only things that turn me away from it is the rear end - the way they have it flaring out looks f@ckin gay I think. The black grill cropola as well along the sides as well. Apart from that I wouldn't mind testing one but thats about it.
Also the part about them being gutless below 5k rpm - I want to test that myself coz if thats true then they really do sux. Most of my street riding for the busa is between 3 ~ 5k rpm (Sux for me I mean ;) )

My point being,for a bike that is now 8 years old and they basically havent changed a thing,well little bits and pieces but nuthin substancial.Why havent they put forks,radial brakes and lighter wheels on it,god knows they could adapt something of the gixxer thou which gets updated about every 2 years.For their supposed flagship model,suzuki are very slack.Even kawasaki bothered to put radial brakes on its last model zx12 which is now defunct!I think the "s" in suzuki stands for slack.:eyes:
