zx-14 vs busa
Life is real funny. Even when the writing is on the wall. People still have a hard time accepting what is the truth.
Who's the fastest ZX-14 '08 or GXSR1350 '08. Let's look at the facts ZX-14 has more motor. If we all can read we all know that it has about 50 more ccs. That alone should let everyone here know that Kaw has more to work with. Stock for stock ZX-14 is faster time sheets don't lie. Brock's first run on the ZX-14 was faster than the Busa. And if you don't believe that look at Ricky's numbers when he did his test.
Right now Brock is setting up his ZX-14 '08 that they gave him to test. Mark my words, when it's all said and done ZX-14 will be the victor! And please don't cry when it's over,
Kaw knows how to make fast bikes it really shouldn't surprise any of us, at least not us old schoolers. So what does this all mean? Not a DAMN thing when it comes down to why you should buy a bike. Because in the end know matter what bike you buy. Somebody is always going to be faster than you even if you have the same bike. Buy your bike base upon knowing these things and not about what other people tell you.
Because guess what? On the streets you can only go so fast. So what if Kaw is faster, just start enjoying the bike that best fits you because in the end that's all that matters. And with that said Long Live the King ZX-14 08 black and red.

You do realize it took only two sentences from your post before I realized you have no Idea what your talking about. The 14 is not 50 ccs bigger then the Busa. and the Busa is not even a 1350. But then again you knew that don't ya. and your just playing around.

1352cc for the 14 which makes it essentially a 1400 bike.
Busa is under 1350cc, which is like 1340cc's which keeps it a 1300 bike.
LOL. I say about 10cc difference with the 14 being a tad bigger.

Face the facts - they are basically equal out of the box - they will do equal with similar bolt on - Busa is king when it comes to popularity, reputation, and the really big one - ability to modify beyond bolt ons - that last element is a major competitive advantage - now why is everyone so focused on the need for the 14 to be recognized on the internet- in magazines or bars as the fastest.... and does anyone that is so occupied ever go to the track and show what they can do.... as opposed to quoting some industry rag, forum member, or whatever - who really cares what Brock or Rickey can do - the question is what can YOU do........ not that I do not like Brock - he is an entusiast as we ll as a pro level racer - but just do not understand how relevant it is.... the 14 is better if you not much on following the crowd...... and the 08 will be about .1 faster than the 06 - that is about half the time it takes to blink your eye........ is that all that important enough to buy.... and if so I'ld imagine your running at a track competitively

Who fuckin' cares? A surprisingly small amount of people take this bike to the strip. And out of those people an even smaller number even have the know how to squeeze every bit of juice they can out of their rides. On the day to day it is what you feel best on... either way these bikes are chick magnets and pay for themselves in pussy points.

and man those magazine rule.... basis of all well though out performance experience.All the mags will say Busa is King..... it is a market share and make it right with the readers (keep the customer)s happy You would be confused if you think the 06 14 has more HP thn the new Busa - Marketing would not let that be - That is why the Busa is King! dod you not read that in the rag..... and if they write it it must be true .

No I don't think I do, as I do my own testing. My bike was on the dyno before and after the pipe and I know my results. oh almost forgot my bikes been down the 1/4 already. Have you did any of that testing on an 08 14 for yourself yet? Put down the bullshit mags and ride.
