zx14 vs busa
So many things for and against,but to put this thing to rest would be like a war in any case all those people who know about drag racing know better I have beaten a many of zx14 in the 1/4 mile,but so have many zx14 beaten busas,but i have seen that it all comes down to the rider busa has got some advantage in hp but zx14 is an easier bike to lauch
anyway they the 1/4 kings..

Everyone has an opion to and mine is on the track the busa does not have a hp advantage and I can launch a busa better then a 14 anyday but it's me not the bikes. gen 2 busa and 14 it all comes down to the rider they are both bad ass bikes. and thank godness we have both maybe that will keep updates to both coming in the future

yeah both bad ass bikes so why to argue about 1/1000 sec.? that is why we argue about these bikes ,i hope the future brings us more than what is already there in any case done 9.18 with an extension but the motor is more...can crack 8"s untuouched motor>>>only bolt ons...

maybe that was you but I raced both bikes not once or twice and both bike had identical numbers, the busa had 2 more mph than the 14 but the 14 was slightly quicker in the 1/4 mile than the busa cus its easier to launch! But we all have different opinions!

a good rider can get into 8s no problem on motor with either bike...just have to have bike set up properly.
