After 6 years it's about time Kawasaki beat the hayabusa at something - it's been embarrassing pretending the ZX12 was an equal, even after a revamp, poor sales and not being as good as the Kawasaki 1k and 600 bikes as a product.
ZX 14 might have the numbers, but not enough to want it over a busa. It looks awful and lacks class. I can't believe Kawasaki doesn't transfer the stlye of the 600 up to its bigger bikes.
In real world riding you can't use the power so other things have to count. I'd call this test a draw as they say the busa won on the road and the drags, while the Kawa got power and top speed, - busa won the ones that count for road riding.
Kawasaki letting themselves down again, at best they can claim matching Suzuki 6 years later. C'mon Kawasaki, you're embarassing.
