Yeah, I've seen these videos before Rook, that's why I always chuckle when I hear someone saying that the Busa handles better... More evidence that it's really the rider and not so much the bike...

No doubt. What you get best acquainted with is what you are most proficient with. I have cornered harder on the 14 than the busa BUT....
I rode the busa the last 5 months while the 14 was being worked on. Just to be very honest, the busa steering feels balanced to me a lot more than the 14. Even though my 14 is now prolly at least 60 lbs lighter, the busa feels more under control in a corner. Just noticed it today riding the 14 when I turn left, I am really pushing quite hard to the right to countersteer, I guess. I definitely don't want to one hand it. The busa's steering is a lot more neutral feeling all the time. I'm never muscling the steering like I do on the 14. When I am riding the 14 all the time, I don't notice the hardness to the steering except maybe in my ,more extreme sport riding. After getting used to the busa, then I do notice a big difference.
As per opening statement, when I do another track day, it will be on the 14 again. I just know that bike.

.....and the 14 has perfect on/off throttle response. I can feather that baby down to a crack and still have usable throttle to guard against losing traction in a corner. The busa does not have that kind of precision of throttle even though I have adjusted the throttle play to 0. It's closed and your turning, carefully searching, waiting, YOW, it's open!
