That's Dwight Kansas, we usually take a break there. Exit 300 to Dwight is 12 miles of curves & hills.

Wrong site buddy.
The Busa boys are waiting for ya on their forum!
I'm throwing this out there as in the past Ive experienced your negativity and opinions that change more times than all four pistons on my motorcycle have gone up and down combined.
And don't forget you've "always wanted" several different bikes. Just look at the title of this thread and re read some of your previous posts.
Your new ride is a great bike but surely you know you'll find something wrong with it.
You always do.
Plus you reckon an 08 Busa is way better than your old 08 ZX-14?
Hmmm...
But you know what?
If youre happy good luck to you and I wish you the best.
I just hope this one lasts for more than 6 months before the next change comes along...

Well this section happens to be called "Other Bikes" so chill out.
Since you brought it up, this 2008 Hayabusa is Superior to the 2008 ZX-14 in many ways.
1) The Handling of the Hayabusa feels like a Litre Bike compared to the Sluggish ZX-14
2) The Engine of the Hayabusa is much Smoother and has less vibration than the ZX-14
3) The Shifting of the Hayabusa is Butter Smooth and is superior to the ZX-14
4) The Comfort (for me) is a little better on the Hayabusa
5) The Unique, Stream Lined Styling of the Hayabusa rules over the porky looking ZX-14
6) This 2008 Hayabusa is a more Refined & Better Quality Bike than the 2008 ZX-14 was.
These are my observations now that I have owned and spent time riding each bike.
THE HAYABUSA IS A KEEPER
Ride Safe Everyone

Just the other day I was wondering how you made out. Sometimes it takes a few different bikes to figure out what ones the right one for you. Glad you found your keeper, I'll stick with the 14. Ride safe.

Pros and cons to both bikes. I agree with some points, but I found the Busa less comfortable on my back and wrists. The pegs are more rearset, and that puts me down too far. making me crane my neck too much. I also find the Busa more "buzzy". ZX14 brakes are better, but the Busa handles a little better. Very personal differences. Everything on both bikes can be improved with mods. Have fun!

"1) The Handling of the Hayabusa feels like a Litre Bike compared to the Sluggish ZX-14
2) The Engine of the Hayabusa is much Smoother and has less vibration than the ZX-14"...LOL...I rode my buddie's 08 Hayabusa.Me with my 07 zx14.
The ONLY thing I liked 'a bit' more on his bike was the trans.Otherwise...it definitely couldn't outshine the 14 in ANY of the corners we went on.In fact,it felt like a highside waiting to happen.Plus it had a steering damper.I'm like...WTF?I want my bike back;)
I'd never ridden a literbike...ever.When I got my H2...a 998cc engine and some 60 lbs lighter..I was exhilarated with the handling.Found I could throw her into corners and such with a LOT more confidence.Then I rode my 2013 14R...interesting thing was...I was throwing her into the same corners and all with very close to the same confidence.It was eye opening for sure.One reason I didn't get rid of my 14.It's all in the pilot with these bikes.Perhaps some suspension adjustments may have been in order with yours?
Bottom line..if YOU like it...that's all that matters...have fun.
Kawasakis are renown for their linear and smooth operation.But they ARE designed to have a bit of an 'edge' to em.It's part of what makes it a Kawasaki.Intentional engineering...not failure to 'get it right'.

"The 14 handles like a sinking barge."
You again.
Writing crap like this on a site dedicated to 14's?
Its your opinion.
Here's mine.
145 posts of negative garbage is all you have contributed here!
And the reason your 14 handled like a sinking barge is solely because you were captaining it!
You have consistently bad mouthed the ZX-14.
Its obvious you dislike the bike so why are you here at all?
If I had the same opinions on the Hayabusa, the last place I would raise them would be on a Hayabusa site. Something about respect for the followers there.
You have advised that just about every bike on the market is "definitely the one for you" (look at the title of this thread) and then changed your mind over and over. Zero credibility.
You have contributed nothing except negativity and tried to help no one here.
Complete and utter waste of time space.
And you come back over and over to do it again and again.
Trolling at its worst.
Best you, your negativity, your abuse towards the ZX-14 and your superior 08 Busa fuck right off...
