Hi,
I have not been posting much but always enjoyed reading this board as quite a few people here are technical

I would like to ask for line-by-line Engine and frame comparasing between
the busa and zx14 ('08)

I am not qualified enough to understand the different design choices but basically
would like to learn from this thread

things that I am interested on on the engine side are:

valve drives.......... same as the busa
cylinder plating.....same as the busa
overall casting/metallurgy differences ... same jap junk as the busa
valve adjustment intervals (and difficulty of doing it on one bike vs another) .....15,000 miles Both suck when it comes to setting the valves
clutch plates, and springs -- Better clutch than a busa ( best feel ) wear is about the same ..


also on the frame side
what are the results of the difference between the Kawasaki's over the engine frame
and Suzuki's one (stability, flex) Less flex than a Busa


thanks in advance
