Hey Steve,
why not put a link to this thread as a reply on the 1400 site.

to be fair there are some great people on the 1400 forum, as with any club/forum there is always going to be someone who likes to stir the pot.

[Macbusa]

lets stop the shit talk... we need a 1400 vs busa day... pink slips up for grabs.

[homerbusa]

as off friday i now have both a 08 busa an a 05 gsx1400.an no im not the wanker from the 1400 forum.rode the 1400 from brisbane to moree 6 hour ride an yes it does go good an handles great..they are both two differant bikes..the busa is my true love an the 1400 is a bit of fun.

[FalcoPerigri]

After all is said and done, I truly believe that both the 1400 and the Busa will go into History as iconic and best bikes of their times (within their categories).
I have ridden both, as someone in the family has the 1400.
IT IS PHENOMENAL.
The Busa is by it's own admission, unique and no less phenomenal.
It also has a pointy nose and aerodynamics built-in.
Both have been to the GYM. Where the 1400 is still in gym-shorts, the Busa is dressed up for a black-tie night on the town.
Owning both should be compulsory, if you already have the one!

ive had both at the same time for about a year and a half i liked the 1400 i used it as my commuter for 80km round trip every days its a good bike but to compare it to a busa is ridiculas the only part i can see it being better in is manouvering through traffic at a slow pace, and i liked the look of the fuel tank reminded me of a car bonnet

[Steve]

this is response from a 1400 owner and forum member and I think it pretty much sums it up


My last bike was a 99 Busa (pre-restriction).
Yes they are different animals, but i ride the same. and the busa was a beast.
I could ride through villages at 30mph in 5th and then roll on and use the massive torque to pull away to silly speeds. whereas i feel the GSX is a bit tame.
3 things to bare in mind, Busa weight is lower than GSX, Busa BHP and torque,both are higher than the GSX.
We all love the GSX1400 for what it is, but lets not get carried away with rose coloured glasses, its not a hypersport bike.

Talk to them about the Honda CB1300, hear what they have to say about a better bike in their own class :-)

That'll get a rise

[McTavish]

there is a bloke on the 1400 forum always going on about how good his 1400 is, take a look below this is what he reckons about Busa's



i ride gen2 busas and joust with them all the time on real roads not sprayed tracks, and can confirm that a 14 is mostly quicker to 160, dead heat to 200, 220ish the busa is getting ahead. anyone who thinks the busa pulls massive bike lengths is deluded. 200-300 it will kill the 14. but thats another universe.

i'm big on 2nd gear 'punch for street and road' riding, and its here that the busa can't match the 14. thats why i'm interested in a full akra and a 10% drop in gearing on the gen2 busa, to get it stirring a bit in 2nd gear. as is it doesn't have the punch i require down low. puting it into first is too frenetic.

the gen2 busa also feels heavier, and is definitely more top heavy than the 14. 90% of my preferred riding roads the 14 is the quicker bike, by a substantial margain. the busa is still on my shopping list due to its grunt above 7grand, which will often have you exploding into your favourite corner uncomfortably. open sweepers and its is king shit.

if i put a thread like this on the busa forum they would all cry and shit their little pants.

hey i just came across this. i'm often on the 1400 forum and i know of this poster. his 14 is well modified and may even have a big bore and cams. you dont mention any of that. You've just taken a convenient quote, out of context - as most on the 14 site know of his bike's state of tune, and you've used it for your own questionable agenda.

not sure what trouble you're trying to stir up here but i can smell some smart arse in the house.

both bikes are fantastic and serve different purposes altogether. He did put a post on a busa forum, but it was a pommy forum and the whining was to be expected.

This bloke has a lot of mates on the 1400 forum and states openly that he fully respects the busa so i wouldn't push it too far mate, as you seem relatively fresh to both sites. you also don't mention the fact that this bloke is an extremely aggressive rider according to countless posts over the years and people who ride with him.

......WTF are you doing copying and pasting other peoples posts into other forums for anyway? get a life.

ride your own bike. make your own history.

[Hutch99]

hhhmmmmmm...opened up a can of... ... ...bwahahaha!

[Rainbow7]

The 1400 is the most boring-looking shitbox around. If you stuck a wooden crate full of fencing equipment on it's rear end it'd be a dead ringer for my Grandad's old farm bike, FFS.

I like my Busa because it is a beautiful piece of sculpture. The 1400 is not.

[CeeJay07]

Who cares what they look like? You'll only ever see the headlight or taillight/numberplate depending on your riding skill and the talent of the 1400 pilot. I've ridden a couple of 'em (the old man and lil' bro have 'em) and they have mountains of torque, but the seat's way too wide (feels like the seat is parting ya nether-regions for some exploratory scientific procedure).

[kawasuki]

I road the 1400 around E/Creek It was the Phil Tainton bike the one that was on the rapid mag. The only thing that was any good was the smooth throttle. I reckon i was at least 10 secs slower on it than my Busa. And it nearly shook my head off down the straight. Good bike for commuting.

have you read the post, I have been on the 1400 forum for about 1 year and I also said that I put this up here. His bike has a full Akra and has been dynoed, no cams no big bore kit, seems I know more about him than you, as for riding with lots of members he is known as the phantom and only one forum member has meet him. Jimmy loves to get people talking which is what this has done, subject closed.

get your hand out of your pants - you sound obsessed with him. if what you state is true, it also sounds like you're his latest victim
