I'm out. Thanks for everything! Ride Safe.
03/26/12 6:58 PM

All-

Wanted to thank everyone on here for the suggestions, knowledge, and opinions shared while I owned the ZX14. You folks are a great group of people. Today I traded my 2010 ZX14 back to the shop in favor of a new 2012 Gen 2 Busa. Having ridden a majority of Suzukis over the years, and owning a Gen 1 for 6 years, I just couldn't learn to like the Kawasaki as much. Even with the pipe, dyno tune, PC5, flies out, etc. Overall I was still disappointed with the bike as a whole.
But...that's why they make so many different models, and it made me feel good that the folks at the shop were drooling over the 14 as soon as I rode in. I'm sure it will make someone very happy. The new Busa is incredible, and I honestly feel returning to Suzuki for me was a foregone conclusion. I wish you all safe riding, and I will see you out there!

Ride Well-

Good luck. Now you KNOW, without a doubt, that you like the Busa better. Nothing wrong with that, it's a great bike.

good luck , drop in from time to time

I rode a trimph 2012 675 today brand new one, its got the brembos the top shelf ohlins, braded lines , quick shifter carbon this, carbon that. through thr twistes it would be very hard to beat on anything, but then the road opens and its by by time.

it was that rough to ride at times I couldn't see were I was going my head bounced around that much.

So red, good on ya for finding the busa ,

the old 14 still dose it for me

cheers
