KennyFKINPowerz Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Actually if any of you would like to see the article that was in (I belive) Cycle World last year the zx-12 was slower than the Busa. Keith Dennis rode both bike with Kawasaki and Suzuki engineers at the track and from stock trim to slightly modified the Busa was always faster. The made the same mods on both bikes at the same time and the Busa was slightly faster through the whole process. I also know people who have owned ZX-12's and they have all switched to Busa's. I honesly prefer the Busa but the ZX-12 is still a bad ass bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohio_wookie Posted May 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 thats why i said the american 12r was slower then the american busa, and the japanese bikes were faster than the busa all together. im not going to argue because its not my bike, but my brother has never lost to a busa.

Nick Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 That is probably the only thing I'll ever agree with you on Hoblick. Only people who ride busas are fat and bald. Don't believe me. Go look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only people who ride busas are fat and bald. Don't believe me. Go look.My roommate's buddy rides a Busa. He's definitely not skinny but I'd love to see you call him fat to his face .. And if runnin 9's is a pig, what does that make yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Never said the bikes were pigs. I do believe Hoblick was referring to "pig" as the bike being huge. They are big bikes, not just in displacement. Over 500lb bikes. Everyone I know with one is a rather large individual. Hoblicks 1995 900 makes about the same power as todays 600s. So as far as him calling anything a pig - well, Pot, its the kettle calling.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneRunnin72SST Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Real life I would die on a busa or ZX12r. But are sweet bikes though but what kinda times would a stock ZX12r or a Busa put up with a 145lb driver? 10's? ~Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli1647545497 Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 A 145lb rider should be riding horses at Scioto Downs. Bike number three on its way to my garage this week smile.gif But, as I'm officially old: its my first cruiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
