New ZX14 out today

[CarbonBusa]

A bit of history.

In 1999 the ZX12r was due for release but Suzuki dropped the Busa Bombshell onto the market so Kawasaki delayed the release 12 months & went back to research & development for the sole purpose of beating the Busa.

In 2000 the A1 ZX12r was released & yes officially it was a busa beater.
The Governments of the day said this is just ridiculous & if these hyper sport bikes aint restricted they will be banned so from 2001 all faster bikes were restricted.

So no the Busa has not held the tittle for the last 12 years & never had a chance to come back because of the new restriction law.

Actualy the Busa does still hold the title and ALWAYS WILL hold the title because the 'official' title for fastest production motorcycle ever made ended with the Busa.

From memory the official figures were
Kawasaki ZX-12R Ninja 305km/h - 189mph
Suzuki GSX 1300 R Hayabusa 300km/h - 186mph

But if it is on wikipedia it must be true
