as if you needed another reason to want to own the baddest bike on the planet, here is just that.. Busa Stampede 2012 Official Teaser on Vimeo And this is just another look at the Stampede 2012 Busa Stampede on Vimeo


Your Welcome

So Howard, are you going?

...

buas use to be the badest bike on the planet I think zx 14 has something to say about that.

True story...........

Not against my bike. My 1397 Busa will spank the 1442cc ZX14 all day and not by just a little...

But would it spank a similarly upgraded ZX-14?

I'm already almost 50cc less motor than the new ZX14. How much more of an edge does the 14 need? True, if the ZX14 owner upgraded to a 1500cc bike it would probably beat me but c'mon...So it takes 100cc more 14 to beat a Busa? Don't get me wrong, I like all bikes and respect most. One bike I use to race a lot until he sold it was a Zx14 with nitrous, he would win some, I would win some, its all fun but I am super passionate about the Busa.

I am talking the new 2012 stock zx 14 I saw the results at the las vegas motor speedway and the busa came in last every time.9.31 @ 151mph Damn!!

Well you said that you would spank a ZX-14. And if you're talking about a stock 14, of course you would. How much money have you put into your machine? After all, you yourself said the only thing left on your bike that was stock was the clutch. So I think that's a bit of an unfair comparison.

That's true, stock to stock comparison a ZX 14 will beat a Busa but the new ZX14 has 100cc more than the Gen II Busa which brings me back to my point, it takes a 100cc more ZX14 to beat a Busa. And by the way, the ZX14 had bolt on's in Vegas, flashed ECU and professional rider. If a professional rider rode mine the bike would be closer to 8.6's to 8.7's. It has the power just not a good enough pilot yet.

Everything you said is true but keeping my Busa at 1299cc compared to the 2012 ZX14's 1442 motor isn't fair either so I built my Busa to compete with the Zx14 and I'm still 50cc less bike than the ZX14 but spanking it all day. I think that is fair.

Which brings me back to my point the busa is no longer the baddest bike on the planet zx 14 rules!!

Being that the ZX14 has an extra 100cc over the Gen II Busa, I agree with you. But comparing something a little more on the same playing field like a 2008 Busa (1340cc) and a 2010 ZX14 (1352cc), the Busa will spank him all day. Why don't we just compare a ZX6 to a Busa? Pretty lopsided huh?

Considering these are the only two bikes in their class the one with the bigger dick wins.Nuff said.

Agree for now but never enough said. I'm not worried about those baby 14's anyways. I love looking at their surprised faces in my mirror.

Here is some more fuel for the fire...

Dont get me wrong I love busa's and I am sure yours is sick as fuck but kawsaski has steped it up in all there bikes even in the mx class.

Yeah, I've seen videos simular to these but there are just as many showing a Busa winning too. Also it depends on who modded what and who can ride. The video above shows the 1000RR 2nd run, what happen to the first run? It's funny how anyone trying to make a point, including Busa owners, shows their bike winning. For every story there is another side. The one thing I can't get past is how ugly the 14 is. It looks like a snowmobile on wheels or a 3 seater jetski. If you could put everything the new ZX14 has into a Busa I'll buy it.

I think the zx14 is a sexy beast!

Beast? True. Sexy? not!!!

Your bike sucks Rob!!!!!!

Magazine racing these bikes is awesome, but unless you're Ricky Gadson you'll probably be just as fast on a 2nd gen Busa as on a ZX-14. And I'm pretty sure that Suzuki has a more-powerful Busa waiting in the wings to satisfy all of the peeps who have to have the "fastest bike in the world". These "speed wars" always go back and forth.

Steve, you're killing me. You know you get a hard on everytime my bike is at your shop. By the way, you helped make it what it is today! On that note, I need to get that tire and more dyno time. I know you can squeeze out a couple more HP with my injectors calibrated.

True true! I haven't even been able to push mine as far as it could go...

This.... is just amazing.

Speaking of the ZX14, I love the new Concourse (touring bike with ZX14 engine). That's what the cops here in Boise are riding and will spank my FZ6.

Actually thinking about this for my next bike.... Steve said it's the most comfortable bike he's ever ridden.

That's quite a jump from a 250 to a 1400 LOL..

My short wish list for my next motorcycle: 1: Ducati Multistrada 2: Kawasaki Concourse 3: Yamaha Super Tenure

Ok let me chime in here. Since my bike was the actual test bike Kawasaki used to test against the ZX-14 and I got the results from their tests straight from the horses mouth so to speak, and this is coming from Kawasaki, he said that a taco from taco bell could mean the difference. For those slower than others, he was saying that they were pretty even. Now whether or not that is true, that did come from Kawasaki and in the end, the Gen II Busa is a far better looking machine and Kawasaki went majorly wrong with their single seat making it look like grandpa's touring bike. I'd like to refer back to what Eric said, for most people, either bike would most likely not see the greatest potential.

Hallelujah! Thanks Howie for jumping in. I was getting beat up all week by the Kawi guys and this was a Busa thread.

How about a nice lil night at the track to settle things?

I have 300cc less than your precious busa, and I accept your 1/4 mile challenge. I owned the last busa enthusiast at friday night mayhem.

Correction, since you bored it to 1397 I officially have 400cc less

Now the Honda's are in it to win it!

I have a taste for busas, they are so delicious going down lol

Thats what she said.

You owned someone who can't race and I don't play that midnight gayhem shit. This ain't a shit talking contest, let's go to test n tune and don't forget your checkbook or better yet your pink slip, I need a Honda for a good bondfire. If you can beat these numbers, congrats. If you can't, go home until you can and if you're close lets race but don't waste my time. I don't want to get out there and all you can run is a crappy 10.2 or slower. If you're not in the 9's, which I don't know how you can be with an 07 1000rr at about 148 hp to my 212 hp, please stay home and don't embarress yourself. Here's something to shoot for...and this is on an average day. I can post videos too if you want. For some reason I couldn't upload the time slip attachment but give me a sec and I'll upload it to my photo album.

R/T .326
60' 1.68
330 4.062
1/8 6.009 MPH 129.01
1000 7.721
1/4 9.187 MPH 152.87

Haha, its just bussiness dont let your feelings get hurt. Everyone is so sensitive these days, I should open a bussiness selling hugs lol.
