New ZX-14 Owner
After spending 3 days deciding between a 2008 Hayabusa and 2008 ZX-14, I bought the ZX-14. Taking delivery Friday afternoon. The clincher was 2 die hard Hyabusa riders saying they would buy the ZX-14 if the price were the same and it was in this case. Hope I made a good decision.

I was riding my brand new bike (07) Suzuki 1250 Bandit, I thought was great....until i saw a black 06 14. I knew I bought the wrong bike. I found an 06 just like it and bought it on the spot a few months later and never looked back. You came to the right place and bought the right bike! welcome!

You cant go wrong with either bike. I have owned both and they are a lot alike. The similarities are many and the differences few.

Congrats and welcome, I think you made the right choice though neither would be a bad one. I originally went to buy a Hayabusa but was ignored by a dumb salesman who was gabbing with a friend on the phone. That pissed me off and I ended up at a Kawa dealer where I ended up buying 14. 13 months and 13,500 trouble free miles later, I still love and enjoy it to the max.
