New Busa is Slow
Just watched the New Busa on The Speed Channel.. Magazine editors and professional riders running between 10.2 and 10.7 at 138 to 140 mph.. Then Aaron Yates got on it and ran a 10.0 something..I would bet that its the ecu, same as with the other bikes...

More like the riders are slow. They always pick the hottest days, the highest elevations and 25+mph headwind to run the bikes.

Why do you think that the Busa guys are not pushing the new Busa in our faces???...Because it's not as fast as they wished it was!!!
Kawasaki and Suzuki sure have our number now!!!...Every couple of years they will update with minor changes, then hyping those changes causing us to go out and buy it...Until we get it home and find that it's not what we thought it was 
I guess we have to wait for 2009 to see what they do for the ZX14 and Busa

I really don't get all the debate about which one's faster the 14 or the Busa, But then i dont drag race...For me the Busa is out dated really really ugly and could never hold the road like my 14. I have been a suzuki fan for many years but come on that thing is so goofy looking i wouldn't ride it on the street..The 14 is much cleaner less bulky..Dont know about the 08 busa but all the rest the 14 has better brakes better ergonomics...All around better feel..and most important the 14 is better built..
