Shifu, I think you might be confused between the GTR1400 and the ZX14.
In my mind the Hayabusa will always be the "be all and end all" of hypersports bikes.
The handling improvements in the GEN II and other subtle updates gave it another lease on life and is still outstanding in its delivery of everything except maybe braking performance but that is easily improved. But if you need good brakes on a GEN II, the stock ones certainly do the job for emergencies. For extended periods of hard braking, they need to be better.
As said before here in this discussion, I could never take my two busas to their potential in any situation but I enjoyed 8 gr8 years of fun, fun, fun.
I hit the max non - speed limited speed 1 time on my 99 and the speed limiter 2 times on my Gen II.
295kph is more than fast enough on wheels for anywhere but the best of race tracks.
If the Kawasaki is quicker, sharper and stops better, good for them - However, the Hayabusa is a legend that will never lose its crown.
