K8 Technical Discussion

[slowandsteady]

I read that the k8 will have a dual butterfly setup.This allows the ecu to control consistent throttle feel.That is excellent.I know a lot will do the zx14 thing and rip them out but it should greatly soften tyre shock upon opening the throttle whilst on your knee in second gear allowing you to ride it alot harder coming out of corners in 2nd gear.The single biggest limiting factor in riding the current busa which is incurable.I look forward to comparing the two.

Never having ridden a zx14, I can't speak from experience, but most of the guys I know who own/ride them hate the dual butterfly setup. Reckon it really makes the bike too doughy down low and takes a lot of the fun out of riding it.... then again I guess it just means you have to keep it above 5k then
