Depends on the rider. We own both bikes and when ZX12 Girl drag races the Busa I get towed down the strip with me on the ZX12 along with others  but, when she races her 12, I still get towed  Both bikes are fast I know (Fact). ZX12Mark........when zx12girl's leg heals i'm sure she can show you what a Busa tail light looks like or a ZX12 tail light looks like Gets old being towed:d

I'm just glad the ZX12R is running good.
I think Kawasaki did a good job. But so for
I have beaten all of the stock motor Busas.
I'm so happy, happy, happy!

Is your 12 "showroom" stock and are the Busas "showroom" stock? I know the 12 makes more power with a pipe than a Busa with a pipe. Are you racing on the track or street? Still boils down to the rider and you must be one hella of a rider or the Busa riders just plain suck

This is an interesting post. Especially asking questions on where and how the racing occurred. I have found it hard to race yourself. Is you observation just that an observation, seat of the pants kind. My 99 feels faster then my 02, etc. etc.
My 63 XKE Jag had a simple little 3.8 straight six cyclinder in it. My buddies had V8's in their vettes and of course they were faster then my Jag. Ask them and they said the vettes were faster, they felt faster, sounder faster, had more torque all of the things that made them feel faster. Reality check time. My little six cyclinder Jag ate every single Vette that came along. Period end of story.
So are we talking emotions or facts. And let's not live on Suzuki's special bike given to the press. Lets talk reality. It is ironic that a couple of bikes magically provided to the press by Suzuki in 99 put up numbers never equaled by another bike since.
Oh well, I guess the fact that Suzuki still makes the Katana and people are still buying it points out that it take all kinds to make this world go round!!

Was at the track Friday an saw a Gixxer 1100 push button start with a 10 over arm, plated and working headlights and taillight on the juice go 8.23 @170. He made all of us Busa and 12 racers running in the nines look bad The moral of the story is, any bike can go fast if you dump money into them but it takes a good pilot to ride them fast.

Hey Ken, Where was that at? I was in Merriville the other day and there was an old 1100 down there that looked fast and a guy said it ran low eights. Lots of juice he said.

Here in the Northwest, the old GSXR 1100 is the drag racing bike of choice. Zillions of parts, tried and proven technology, with some real knowledgable people building engines and chasis using the GSXR 1100 engine. And they run high sevens and above. For less money then the purchase price of a ZX12.

No argument here. The Busa has a aerodynamics advantage over the 12. That is why it can go as fast as the 12 plus or minus a mile an hour or two with less horsepower. The drag strip is not as much about aerodynamics as it is horsepower and torque. Thus the 12 should prevail assuming the riders are near equals.
