SpaceGhost Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ive seen that zx14r but Im not a fan... It's called a ZX14, no "r". Aleast when you put down another product have the decency and knowledge of it's name. Just shows that another Busa sac rider is un-informed about "The 14".

Linc5.0 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 any bike dropped from that distance will have frame damage....which means totalled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawboy1647545515 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'll agree that the 'busa is the best platform and the aftermarket is the clearly the best but if you want to consider straying from the herd, I have a ZX12R set up for dragracing that I'm considering selling. It's only a 3 inch over swingarm, has airshifter, NOS, and much more plus a lot of spares. Bike is capable of low 9's as it sits. PM me if you are interested.

81mercury Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 not all bike's break when dropped, ive seen a zx-10 dropped off the forklift and after some new plastic itr was good too go....the new busa is ugly as hell and heavier then the old one.....

Anything can happen in a wreck or from a drop. However, the 14 is the only one I know of that has done it just from riding NORMAL... not all bike's break when dropped, ive seen a zx-10 dropped off the forklift and after some new plastic itr was good too go....the new busa is ugly as hell and heavier then the old one..... I think the new BUSA looks great however everyones opinion is different. BUT...yank the heavy ass exhaust and it's lighter than the old bike. It's because of all the EURO 3 emissions CRAP. It's the same reason the updated 08 14 makes LESS power than the 06/07 14 stock.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grease monkey Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I have a zx14. I love it. What year was the one with the broken frame?? I have'nt honestly had any trouble out of mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
