just my experience....my .02 if you will. I have beat g1k's, 2 hayabusas, 12r, 14r and slaughtered every r1 ive tried. The busa is sweet, but its funny to me when a guy who has never rode before, goes and purchases a bike like that. Alot of new riders buy busas. They think they are the shit, and so on, we all know the story. And if all the hype is true about 195hp 2007 busa, I'll have one as a stablemate for my 10r. Point is...Its 90% rider. Although you 2 have jacked the hell outta this thread, the 14 is faster than the busa. Its in black and white. Thats why I'd buy the 14 over the busa, this year anyway.
