hayabusa is the most powerful

[Throwdown!]

2011 zx10 got 'em all covered. 207 in the engine!!!!!!!! Come on boys, time to catch up

the new 2011 zx-10 is plagued with major issues and been recalled , so the busa is still the king

+ the zx10 looks fugly

I quite like that bike.

The Busa is the one they all try to beat...says it all!

[ross79]

I took a zx14 with basic mods (pcIII, exhaust) for a spin (similar mods to my busa) and it made the busa look very lame! The thing had shitloads of power everywhere. From 2k it was ready to throw me off. I'd still take the busa as it fits me better but don't underestimate the zx14.

I'm from a circuit racer background but also have had the pleasure of riding a couple of different Busa's from stock, NA tuned to my current turbo. Yes they are awesome, but they don't compare to the S1000RR's ability or technology. 193rwhp from factory 2 years ago. Kawasaki made a mess of their 2011 ZX10... No one will remember it once the rest of the big 4 bring their next 1000's out.

Don't think less of a bike just because the rider lacked the skill to do it justice.

I've given up, the Gen 3 is due in 2017 (is past reconning is correct)
Should be up around 300Hp and under 200kg by then.
I'll wait for that one.

The 'busa has a massive reputation. I'm always meeting other bikers at the Motel. When I say I ride a busa the standard comment is "Those things are insane - and so are the people that ride them, death machines"

- but I beg to differ.

I think the reputation is totally wrong. And to prove it just look at the average busa rider.

They aren't twichy like the latest sports bikes, now the original R1's were just plain mental!

The busa is well behaved, the throttle isn't snatchy or twitchy, and it can be ridden with no effort at all in any situation.
My brother in'law had a ride of mine the other day and was very tentative - because of the reputation. I told him that it was really very sedate unless you really push it. Just respect it and it is a really well mannered cruisy bike. He was used to a cruiser, and loved it.(might have a convert me thinks) He said he could feel the power, wasn't game to really crack it open, but never felt intimidated and commented just how easy it was to ride, but did comment that the speed crept up way too fast.

- The beauty is that you can ride it on "auto pilot" with the hangover from hell, and it will look after you, but IF you push it My Hyde comes out (all be it - nice and progressively) and gives you the potential the disintegrate all the competition.

I don't think I could live with all these wanna be 'busa beaters.

+1 That's exactly what I think of my Busa and it amazes me how many people say how crazy there experience was when they rode a Busa [wheel standing with just a brush of the throttle, back tyre frying up changing into 3rd gear etc etc],what they are really telling me is "they are full of it and have never really ridden one".
I also agree that some of the sports bikes are just physically to small for me, I don't find the Busa to be a heavy bike to ride at all and I find it easy to handle in traffic aswell.

I think one thing sets busa's apart from ever other bike imo is this , no matter what you don't forget your first ride on a busa , it stays with you. I can still remember my first ride on one a few years ago , an unrestricted 99 model it was fuking majic , i ended buying that bike.

Dave, i agree with you and Ward, im 6 foot 10 Tall, i used to punt a 98 ZX9R and WR/GSXR1100 around Mallala years ago, todays "Sportsbikes" are waaay too small for a giant of a bloke like me!
I throw Busa around like its a RGV and i wouldnt have it any other way!
All modern bikes are the same: Hayabusa is only as fast as your Brain, your Balls, and Right Wrist!
I think people also need to remember that the Kawasaki is pointed to a differing market than the Busa.

BUSA IS KING!

Just like the days of the HO & E49's. Which was fastest etc etc.
I love this kind of banter, Eagles or Dockers and then some goose throws in Collingwood. Stupid
