Eventually I'll get one. More fitting for the riding area I live in.

In fairness the Busa has a 9 year head start on the ZX14 I love my 05 but I have a lot of performance suspesnion and comfort. It is odd to me how many people have a rather negative view of this type of bike, but I guess what works works

Im basically certain that I will have a busa at some point and it keeps looking like itll be sooner than later. Ill probably have a gix 750 or some sort of liter but the busa will probably be soon after, especially since Im only 23 and my back is already a mess.

If it's a Busa, its a black or spanish guy riding it, 25-40 yrs of age
If its a ZX-14, its a white guy riding it, 30-40 years of age


yeah, sounds about right.

There are a couple of 25-30 guys here who ride twisties pretty quick on 14s and a busa.

Yep, I have two young guys (in their 20's) that ride with us, both have zx14s, both can ride them pretty hard and one in particular can REALLY rail on his, no problems what so ever for him to keep up in the twisties. It will always be more about the rider than the bike.

And the shitty part about saying someone is fast through twisties is that others will be like "anyone can open it up in the straights on a bike that big." This guy out runs people through corners and goes through more front tires than backs.

Same here lol.... He's a big guy too, so it's funny to be behind him when he's fully leaned off the bike.

The size thing is funny to me because the day I bought mine I was closing fast on 400 lbs (these days 225) which is why I knew as it was rolling off the floor it was getting a turbo.
The first Gen ZX14 have much nicer suspension than the first Gen Busa's it wasn't until I rode my friends ZX bike that I decided to have the forks done. Anyone who is riding a Busa gone to the GSX Rims? Notice any difference in handling?
