Some more ZX14's located While on my 'busa across the southern states' tour recently, I ran into some floored 14's
2 of them in Natchez, Ms. 1 blue and 1 black. Both Carded at 11,000. (less than the ZX10's that he had)
It is a Suzkawaha dealer.
No busas left.
I stopped at a few larger sport bike gatherings hoping to talk to some real live 14 guys, but saw none. The guys said that they almost never see the 14's out on the streets. I guess that for now, pimping the busa is still where's it's at?
The other one was red and was in Clovis, NM
They also could not believe that I rode a busa all the way from AZ. When I told them I will also ride it home, they were really blown away. I can't imagine NOT getting out on the open road.

I saw a black one this past weekend in S. Paris, Me. The dealer wanted full MSRP, plus setup, other fees, and taxes.
No thanks, I'll wait for the 07s.
Any idea when we'll see specs and prices on them, and when can we expect delivery to dealers?

yes, busa's go for about 9500...... and i have seen them "advertised" slightly lower.... they won't sit long. Over 11k for a zx-10? did you tell that dealer that he was an assclown...lol

Less than MSRP for a 'hot' model bike out this way is usually a great deal. Of course, my dealer is not a 'volume' sport bike dealer.
True on the busa pricing, I almost never hear of them being sold for MSRP. A lot of times there are deep discounts.
There's no real drag strips, or twisties around here. My 'big' bikes are turned into sport tourers and commuter bikes- 70 miles round trip to work.

the zx14 has been out about 2 months and busa for 7 years.
that is why you don't see alot of zx14 and see bunch of busas.
would that make sense??? ____________

Actually, I was just surprised and disappointed to not see more 14's out there on the roads and at gatherings. I also thought that there'd be more bike guys talking about the 14.
I also forgot about how much time and $$$ guys put into their busas.
About all I get to see around here is Harleys and fake Harleys.

Alki Beach sportbike gathering in Seattle, I was the only 14 there. Talked to a lot of Busa guys, and everyone was decent and friendly. Got a call from the prez of local sportbike club couple days later and we talked for awhile. It's all good.

are we talking zx14 or zx12?
It was an example and a joke.
Busas outsold XX's AND 12r's combined, each year that they were all 3 in production. (Of course that statement was probably BS, I don't know) I've own(ed) all 3.
It is too early for SALES figures, I was just a guy riding cross country and made an observation about the hot, new toy.
I also was looking for some MV's, but saw none. BTW- busas out sell MV, Why is that? :-)
