itd have been nice if i couldve seen the first race....
so, Mr Busa.....the ZX14's ARE what theyre "cracked up to be" then ?? i was seriously doubting Kawasaki..i love their Ninja's, but, Suzuki makes a better bike imo.......thats why im gettin a Gixxer 750. nice vid tho.
was the ZX14 stock ?? and you have spray ??

i have a problem with Suzukis. they don't seem to handle as good as some of the other bikes. my freind just bought a Kawasaki ZZR600. that thing will beat modded Gixxer 600s of the same and it is stock except for slip on cans

2 of my friends, 1 had a '01 6R and the other had a GSX-R600. my friend with the Ninja said he could beat Mark anytime he wanted to on a mountain. i LOVE both Suzuki and Kawasaki, just, my choices would be between 1) the 636 Ninja and 2) the GSX-R750....im a bigger boy, so, im thinkin the 750 for me. but like i said, i love both companies.

yeah.....i actually DID think about that.....but, me, on a literbike........idk about that. lol yes, i would respect it til i got used to it, just like i did with my 'Stang, but, after that, all hell will break loose everywhere. haha. i mean, the price diff is only like $1500 i think between the 750 and the 1000.......i could go ahead and get the 1000. be worth it in the long run. plus, im pretty sure a literbike would hold me off for "a while". haha

Yeah the zx-14 is geared to run 185 where as the bussa is still for 200 1 and 2nd he pulled then 3rd we were even but didnt have enough road to see what could happen if we took it to the top. I do have spray but was almost out on race night but it is cool because we wanted to run the bikes for what they were.. zx-14 had a muzzie exhaust
my friend ran some bikes with his zx10r, with a 16tooth front sprocket (instead of 17). he smoked the zx14, the gixxer1000, and the cbr 1000, and got owned by a fully built (20:1 compression) gixxer1k, all in the same race. the zx14 rider had just bought his bike that week, so the driver mod wasn't up to par

i still like the 'Busa better. its still the King of Speed, except for maybe an F117 Stealth Fighter or the SR71 Blackbird. haha.
