Thank God for Ricky Gadson. It is in par with the 'busa with bad air for the 14 compared to good air for the 'busa? I'm glad he is doing this before the 'busa gets all of the press and the 14 is too little too late. The mags will still hand the title to the 'busa, but we now know it is neck and neck and truly up to the tune and rider.

Your absolutely correct about that. I still believe the busa is a little stronger down low though, and easier to mod. Both bikes have certainly raised the bar.

I think Smokin could get that bike down in the 9.10's.

I don't know about 9.10 but with a 1.50 60 footer i could see me going high 9 teens.....  I went 9.18 @ 150 on my 06 So the 08 has the MPH to run at least 9.18 or better ..

Smokin', I bet it will go 8.50's and past the .60's. Heck you've been 8.70's with your '06 so why you think just a tenth quicker?
I guess it would be possible to go 8.50s ...It depends on how much power a pipe and tune will add..
I'm thinking that it will pick up more HP than the 06 zx14 because of the 3 cats on the 08 ... If the 06 was stopped up with 2 cats then 3 cats has it really plugged up !!

I am currently lobbying to get rid of my '06 but I hate to have to take it apart if I can't get a decent price as is. My local dealership has a blue one but I can't get anything other than the silver bike.
I hope Brock gets a '08 ZX-14 soon and stop mucking around with that busa and get some new maps and such.

You were piped and PC'ed when you ran that #, right?
Yes it would have been nice if Brock had both bikes at the same time but I'm sure Susuki wouldn't have liked that.

Yes my 06 was piped and Mapped ... Smeg , street Map and pump gas ...That why the 08 looks so good to me ....Hey teddy want to buy a 06 really fast red zx14 ????? lol...

Just pull that damn head off and have it ported already and you'll have 08 power. 
I still have to payoff my crank from APE.

That's what I'm talking about! Now when that new 08 Busa pulls up to the line and gets his ass waxed you can just shrug you sholders and say "It's only the slower 06 model".
