Ducan seeing you are behind on the news here is something from Ricky Gadson on the 08 zx14 .. Looks like the new busa has its work cut out for it..
Today I got my hands on an 08 ZX14 and couldn't wait to see if Kawasaki really did step it up for 2008.
After riding the bike for a photo shoot in August, I made a phone call to california to see if I really felt what I thought I felt, which was more power everywhere.
Low mid and high seemed to be seat of the pants harder during the hit.
They confirmed that they have changed qutie a bit on the 08 in an effort to fight off the 2008 Busa.
With 7 miles and the gas that comes from the dealer, my good friend OLD SCHOOL call me and said come get it, and I couldn't get to Englishtown fast enough to pick it up last night.
I went to Atco raceway first thing this morning and Knocked on the gate to let me in.
On my first pass I went
9.76@144mph without alowing the bike time to warm up.
Remember the bike is just the way you buy it from the dealer.........absolutely no modifications.
numbers where
1.70
4.35
6.39
116.39
9.77 @ 144
next pass
1.66
4.26
6.35
118.21
8.15
9.68
146.91
next pass
1.64
4.23
6.32
117.72
8.13
9.67
146.75
next pass
1.64
4.25
6.33
117.94
8.14
9.68
147.07
next pass
1.65
4.24
6.33
117.97
8.12
9.65
148.02
next pass
1.64
4.23
6.32
117.99
8.13
9.67
148.00
Then I packed up after only 30 min at the race track to head to the shop to throw it on the dyno.
The best 06 I had on my dyno put out 169 with no miles and 173 with a bike that was broke in which belong to sonny.
But on the average they had about 166-168hp brand new with 104.4 ft-lbs of torque.
The 2008 with 11 miles made 174.5 hp and 108.9 ft-lbs of torque, with the air fuel dropping to 10.8af at 11000rpm, and where it made peak power which was 9750rpm, the air fuel was already 12.2 and falling.
So there you have it
174.5hp vs 169hp
108.9 vs 104.4 torque
9.65 vs 9.75 best 08 and 06
148mph vs 146
You decide!!!!!
Will do more testing as soon as my new 2008 gets here next week...........stay tuned.
