Steve Butters Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 im waiting to see a 1600cc factory busathat new zx14 is sexy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wht_scorpion Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yeah in the mood for a hamburger when ever I see a ZX14. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I read suzuki is in financial trouble and will be at least a few years before a new busa comes out but we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 A stocker running 9.70's.....Gadson as the pilot or not, that extra 90cc is proving itself easily......Busa could use some displacement and tuning to stay competitive, one would think Zuki could at least come up with cash enough for that much?

wht_scorpion Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Gentlemans clause that the big 4 has honda yamaha suki kawi. I think that clause is gone that they could not go over 190hp stock. Because of Bmw new 1000cc bike. So I think the glove are off no more speed control on them next year.

conn-e-rot Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 The clause from 2000 to limit the bikes to 186mph still stands it was either they agreed to do it or the governments were going to step in and mandate a max speed and/or ban import of certain models.

Helmutt Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I think Yamaha and Honda would rather focus on making money with their cruisers and sport tourers than build a hypersport Although, the ST and FJR's engines could probably prove potent in a litre sized frame......seems those 2 are happy enough just watching the battle on the dragstrip between Zuk and Kaw......at least for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottie.harris Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Just remember kawi lovers, if it werent for the busa, the zx14 prolly wouldnt exist.imo I think kawi keeps getting uglier with their bikes though. The orginal zx14 was ok, this one is getting close to the ugly side; although the new busa is pretty ugly too.In all honesty though the new zx10 is well, i put something in the toilet prettier than it.
