Picked up some winter projects
there not 14's but I keep hoping one will come through the sale. First I got an 03 Busa with a rod knocking for $1500. I have all of the engine parts to fix it. I am going to lower this one and make it a stage one turbo streetbike stock wheelbase. about 230 RWHP. Budget on this one is $4000 completed.
Next I picked up a 2010 with 1372 miles on it. this is after I stripped all of the damged plastic and bent subframe off of it. It's a gen 2 and is going to take a few more parts to fix. I found some faring stuff for it and a swingarm. I am in to it at about $2500 with the purchase price and the plastic I have bought for it.

Hmm..I think this might be pre-cursor to a new TV show called "Bike Wars" if those kind of deals are out there. WTG!

If what 1bad says is true, you will have the fastest scooters this side of the prime meridian.

locally right now an 06 GSXR1000 is king. he's high 4.90's in the 1/8th on spray. These will never go that fast. I just buy them, fix them up then sell them. Just a Hobby. I keep waiting on a new 14R to come through but so far not even a gen 1 14 has showed up. I will keep looking.

Indeed I haven't. Then again I'm kinda new to the scooter drag scene. All I really have as far as evidence is what you, Wee, Smokin, Brock, Ivan, RG, and Fish put up here.
OK... not so much Fish but you see where I'm goin.

I cannot argue that one. Give it time. You'll still get the credit for building it when it's done though. I don't think everyone here realizes how extensive your knowledge of the ZX14 platform is.

High 5.30's on 06 zx14. On a dry kit in the /18th. Same bike never went that fast in the /18 again when it had the turbo on it. But it was faster in the 1/4 mile.

1Bad's old bike is going to be racing at nearly 150 pounds less raceweight than when he was running it and tuned for 350+ to the tire. I'm expecting some decent numbers out of it.

Pulled the farings on the 03 I bought to start getting the motor out. Tag on bars said rod knocking. here is a pic of what they said was a rod knock  most common failure on a Busa. The rod bolts. This one knocked its way out of the case. If i had to guess being it's a low mileage bike and stock wheelbase and not lowered it was held on the rev limiter in neutral because I look cool in front of my friends. Squid tested...Squid approved...FAIL.

looks to me
that bearing got really hot before that bolt broke ... when a bolt breaks the rod don't get hot

Yea. Your right. Spun a bearing looks like. Then super heated the rod causing it to break. No.i never planned to fix this motor anyway. I have 4 gen 1 busa motors. Going to freshen one up with some new bearings and rings then put some HD ARP rod bolts in it then ride.
