Here comes more debate.........numbers have shown that the 08-09 seem to faster. Now let's compare the 08 busa to the 08-09 ZX14.
Did I say anything about a 14 vs a Busa. I said my belly wing made no difference in mph on my bike but maybe it would come in to play more at around 160 then 149. thought my post was easy to understand. super sport bikes run close to or over 160 so maybe there it adds 1 mph or so but on both my 14 and busa mph is no different with it or with out. I ran both bikes both ways. I leave mine off so it don't scrape going in the trailer.

Busa Bently you got nothing to prove to us. So you bought an inferior bike? So what! So your next bike will probably be a V-Max, SO WHAT. Enjoy what you ride and don't sweat these guys

I agree, the mile or any land speed event for that matter would need the aeros more than just a quarter mile run...although there is a lot you can take from land speed and apply it to drag racing...like picking your feet up and placing them on the pegs...he-he smokin I watched with my own eyes a local guy (not a professional rider) pick up 2 mph,in the same lane, on a 63inch 14.
Look at Farlie Hall vs Rickey Gadson at the First race of this year. Rickey was about 2-3 MPH faster than Farlie. Farlie did not have a belly wing on his bike. They both were in the low 9.0s. Both had the same person build the engine and same exhaust, Alien Head. Both had the same mapping to start with. Both were sponsored by Brock's with exactly the same parts on both of them. I am just basing this off of the info I can see online. Again these are all just opinions. I have never seen one in a wind tunnel.

Thats funny Bently because I wasn't talking about the belly pan. I thought my post was easy to understand. Smokin understood and replied to the post. Maybe you just quoted the wrong post.

I took the belly plastic and the bracket off . It saved me 3 pounds . Didnt notice much of a difference with the MPH .

exactly, you have no experience to chime in on hardly any threads that are talking about drag racing. after all you just go to the track to impress the chicks. what track in Wis. do you run at? And why am I not zx14bently. I have had 2 and never talk bad about them.
