this article states that the new 08 busa makes 166 HP and the ZX14R makes 161HP

Az posted an article stating the 08 ZX10R had 170HP at the rear wheel. i ama little confused am i missing something this same website states that the busa made 200HP at the crank. do they really lose that much or is something off

i guess it could be different dynos

 

Different dynos, different elevations, different weather can all make for different hp/trq readings.

 

**** its stupid to buy a busa or 14 then

 

Well if you're drag racing it, then fine.

 

Agreed, unless you are buying them for the more comfortable riding position.

 

I have tsukigi exhausts, nitros, and remap, when I hit the juice button, my 14 is running around 200 HP. I am saving for a big bore kit and a supercharger.
Some day it will be fast enough but for now, it eats busas and ZX-10's.

TRUE but arent they supposed to be the horsepower kings

 

Are we supposed to believe anything he says?

The 14's are actually touring bikes, so they are much more comfy for long rides than the forward position of the 10.

 

BN, crank hp is allways more than wheel hp.

 

there pretty agressive touring bikes then
