    Having owned both (currently still own the zx14r). I couldnt decide which i liked more. Both amazing machines.

    Im sure glad since 2012 Kawasaki has really been building top class bikes, my 2012 Zx14R compared to the many previous Kawi Bikes Ive owned is just amazing. But Hey Busa's are great too, and Im glad to see these two give the liters bikes a solid run for the money, where previous models where beaten up by the BMW S1000RR and other 1000cc bikes. Enjoy whatca Ride!

    Remember this is bikes you can ride for a long time sitting comfortable as opposed to racebikes. The R1 for instance is race, while the Busa and Kawa is Touring/sportsmotorcykels .. hence the bulky etc look. It's a matter of which bike you prefer riding =)

    the kick of busa is not only more mean is more pleasant than 14 (i owned both previous had honda cbr 1100xx, R1 05, zx10 , literbikes are eye candies but track unconfortable bikes, busas zx 14 are mature rush adrenalin long travel buddies, and as i said before ...it doesnt matter ferrari lambo or any car nothing nothing compares the rush this bikes give to you the only way a car can math is before many hundred $ on mods, ....and even that sensation is not the same , just my 2 cents

    • @bgmagma10R

      What gen of both have you owned though? by what you're saying I would say 1st gen 14 is what you rode.. If thats the case then you have no idea. I made passes at the drag strip on a 1st gen 14 and wasn't impressed at all, as well as the 1st gen busa. But the 2nd gen of both are very respectable. I have a 14R and stock for stock the busa just can't hang.

      I had both at the same time and the ZX14's engine is smoother, the transmission shifts smoother and the riding position is more comfortable...

    Sport Rider may have run a 9.68, but any ETs they run are corrected for temperature and air pressure. These guys ran the ZX-14R at a 9.36 @ 152.9 when weather-corrected, and the Busa at 9.48 @ 150.7.

    1972 I bought new a Kawasaki 750 H2 fastest stock bike in 1/4 mile at the time, 1975 I bought new a Kawasaki 900 Z1 fastest bike you could buy, 1983 i bought new a Honda V65 first stock bike to run 10s 1/4 mile 121hp. I would love to own the Kawasaki ZX14R but i do not trust myself. I always wanted a V Max Yamaha but never owned one they came out in 1985.

  • @wigmapool
    @wigmapool 12 лет назад +1

    Sportbike in the US did a 1/4 mile run with the 2010 BMW and got 9.681@150.4, so I think that beats the Suzuki at least. The 2013 HP4 version should be a little quicker again, so it'd be very close to the Kawi.
    You've got to consider all that extra weight and drag the extra horsepower has to make up for.

  • @bilal0072003
    @bilal0072003 11 лет назад +2

    Only problem is that 250 bikes just don't have enough pull. Sure they are better on gas but as far as get up and go, they just don't have it. Most riders want that extra grunt just in case traffic is turning ugly or they just need to change lanes quickly to avoid a situation. The 600's are pretty much all that's really needed on the streets. But hey, some people like myself started on a 1000. Just depends on what the rider feel comfortable and confident with.

  • @IgWannA2

    Yeah I realize that, but it's still misleading, to simply say "they're the quickest production motor vehicles on the road". Which is why I said it isn't entirely true. I'm not trying to be pissy about it, but it's just he seems to be embellishing the truth a little too much.

  • @twowheeldanger
    @twowheeldanger 12 лет назад

    Engine performance is significantly altered depending on temperature and air pressure. To keep data as apples-to-apples as possible, all magazines correct their stats to sea-level air density and 68-70 degrees F. That's why the raw ETs we ran are reduced when corrected for the weather condition of more than 100 degrees F.

  • @spiro5327
    @spiro5327 12 лет назад +1

    The Busa will have ABS and BREMBO'S next year which will obviously make it a better bike and it wasn't much slower over the quarter, so i think that it wouldn't take much for Suzuki to produce a new Busa that will surpass the ZX and it could happen as early as 2014.

    of course there arent light bikes...they steer but you have to do your part understandably more than a 600 or 1000 ...but when you are in the middle of the corner and accelerating while getting up youll surpass anything in your path ....leaving a fat tire mark in the process....and feeling superb too!!!

      Looks like you know what you're talking about! It'd be nice to have a chat with you about different classes. I've heard that the ZX14 is more comfortable than the Busa. But to me, nothing beats Busa's image! I had the older model and now I have the new one and I absolutely love it! Have you ever been up on Mulholland Snake?

    These are some good comments concerning the BMW, but you have to remember a few things.
    1. the ET numbers are not on the same day/track ect
    2. Don't get totally caught up in the horsepower numbers and overlook the fact that the ZX14 makes around 115 ft/lb of torque vs 78 or so for the BMW, a whopping 50% more torque.
    3. And of course finally a tall short wheelbase bike really really sucks out of the hole, having a ton of HP is useless unless you can get it to the ground.

  • @wigmapool
    @wigmapool 12 лет назад

    Yeah I realise the US bikes have some different setups including speed limiters. I think MCN(UK) did some top speed runs with these bikes and found the BMW to be the fastest, it should be on youtube somewhere. Also I think Sportbike in the US did a 1/4 mile run with the 2010 BMW and got 9.681@150.4.

    This is a pointless test as both bikes are very fast and more than powerful enough for road use which is what they are intended for.

  • @05EVORS
    @05EVORS 10 лет назад +1

    lighter wheels, glass tank, other dieting things like a lithium battery + single exhaust, cams/map and other little mods these things get super nasty. Drop 70-80 lbs out of one + some power bumps and low 9's. All typical attainable mods. You better have a 1100hp+ car sipping additives to play

  • @masonbaer5478

  • @krasp28
    @krasp28 11 лет назад

    Both have really bulky fairings to provide more wind protection for the rider at such high speeds. Plus they've got longer wheelbases than a typical sportsbike, again for high speed stability. Makes them both pretty ugly. But it's a function over form thing.

  • @08halit

    Take a look for some of the 1/4 mile times people are getting with 2012 S1KRR's with just a pipe and tune. Now consider the upgrades with the 2013 S1KRR HP4. I'm not saying it'll be way faster or anything, just that'd it'd be close and the bmw MIGHT be faster.

    Nice review, awesome boost, but these bikes still look like 2 gigant whales :)
    Oh by the way, can anyone tell me what's the name of the song what we can hear at back for example at 1:26/ at 1:50 or at the end? Thanks in advance!
