Troppo rides the ZX14R

[Madmax]

What is the point comparing a lemon to a peach because it is what you are doing here when talking ZX14 vs Busa

They are completely different types of bike, aimed at different market segment. Could you look at that Kawasaki's offering and call it really a sports bike? It is a cruiser for those who do not like Harley's or a penis extention to those who are too old and crooked to ride a real sportsbike.

So please stop it. Look at these lovely, aerodynamic curves of Busa while you still have it, and take it for a ride

Good one Andrew, is this comment about too old and crooked to ride a sports bike from the bloke who trailered his busa to Tathra coz it was too far.BTW Have you exceeded 200kms in a day on the bike yet? Wake up to yourself mate , I have ridden busas for 7 years plus and thought it was time for a change so I bought a 14.
PS. DIDN`T NEED TO SPEND THOUSANDS EXTRA TO GET IT TO STOP AND HANDLE

Hey Beally, are you taking the piss out of me here fella?
I trailered the bike to Tathra because I had just had an operation on my ankle and at that stage couldn't stay on the bike very long, I take it you don't approve? Sorry mate, couldn't have done it any other way apart from maybe leaving the bike at home but I'de have missed the loop and wouldn't want to have missed that for quids.

I bought my first Busa in 2000 so that would be 12 years and a heap of miles of riding her for me. A heap more to come if my knees let me. I have had a total knee replacement on my right knee which makes long trips pretty tough, price of age I suppose. Still love my Busa though and will ride her through thick and thin!! The BlackMax is my 3rd Busa. Heidi just bought her 4th so now I will have to try to follow suite to keep up to her! lol.

I did spend a heap of money on the brakes of the busa because the standard items were less than satisfactory for such a fast bike. I take it you don't approve of me doing that either? Can't make it handle much better though. YOu could try putting 180 section back hoops on your's to assist with quicker tip-in if you like.

Mate please be a little fair here. I actually complemented the ZX on its handling, brakes and smooth ride. Why are you throwing rocks at me? Don't know what point you are actually trying to make. I was hurt at the timeand couldn't ride and I spent a fortune making the Busa brake a little better. Am I missing out on something you are trying to say?

If you like the Kawasaki and want to ride it there is no rule anywhere that says you have to come back here and try to convince us that you liked the ride and that the Kawasaki is a better bike for you.

We'll probably agree that the Kwacka is quick, but thank you for your input and continue to ride our Hayabusas, because we like/love them. The next place for you may well be the nearest Kawasaki forum where you can all gather in a mass debate about your bikes and how quick they are.

Still don't know why you were raising your voice (caps lock) pretty impressive though.


Max - Love my Hayabusa and love riding her when I can.
