just rode 08 14 NICE BIKE!
Buddy of mine just bought a silver 08 and we went for a little ride today.As you all know I have the grey 08 busa. We traded for about 45 min. IMPRESSIONS: Seating was a little more upright on the kawi and I felt on a long ride would be a little more comfortable. Smoothness wise I call it a draw. Transmission felt a little smoother and more direct on the zuk. Clutch was very smooth on both machines but they did feel different.{there were no hard launches} We went through some twisties and busa felt a little more stable here. This was the one big advantage I give to the busa. Henry agreed. With both bikes being almost new we never really opened them up fully, but I felt the busa was stronger down low but as I hit around 6 or 7 grand on the tach The big kawi seemed to change an attitude real fast. Time will tell, but with out really letting these monsters stretch there legs it was impossible to tell wich one will reign supreme.{it wont be by much} I wish I could have had some seat time on a 06-07 zx 14 but I've never ridded on so I can't comment on any improvements between the two 14's. I have owned 2 busa's and this model is a big improvement. I still stand strong to my word that I WILL OWN ONE OF THE NEW 14'S. It's a great bike. one will be my drag bike the other will be my fun bike. Which one is which???????? By Summer I'll know.

Hey Dohnut!
No Matter what you say, you're still a piece of shit troll. Don't believe you even have a bike or Know how to ride for that matter.
Cheers

The Kawi is quite a bit more comfortable and is one of my reasons for going with the 14, and looks, I prefer the looks of the 14, by a lot actually.

I don't notice all that much difference in comfort on the 08 Busa, the 14 was more comfortable then the 99 07's but there is more reach to the bars and the foot pegs are lower on the 08 and the wind screen is higher.

maybe it was his other posts that got bigbore started, this one seems innocuous enough.
