[sm=drooldude.gif]The Concours is BAMF It would probably hang pretty close to a busa too, especially considering the types of riders on both...

 

even though i really like the C14, i think i ould still go with a zx-14 before a C14 although it does have a shaft drive...hmm...tough choice

 

+1 Very tough choice indeed........................it would be the ZX for me anyone want to buy my Stunt bike? 900rr w/130hp

 

i have ridden the old busa and the "new" 14 and let me tell you what, the 14 blew it out of the water hardcore, the busa just felt bulky, sluggish, and just plain not fun. the 14 moved down the road with 100% power transfer, no slipping or trying to wheelie, just plain power!!!!!

kawi for life i will always bleed green!!!!

 

uhh.... im a huge kawi fan to, but i dont do that. you might wanna get that checked out... could be dangerous[&:]

at the one dealer close to me the one guy who works there has a 14, nos, power commander, lowered, stretched swingarm, bigger brakes, full muzzy exhaust and a wide *** tire.... he said its in the low 9's quarter mile... wants it in the 8's......[:-] crazy ****.

 

after last night i can guaranty that i do bleed red

 

CW also stated that the 06, 14was a little faster on the top end than the 08. I cant beleive that Kawasaki made all their claimed improvements and lost 3 hp. If they would have just left italone and made the fly's open sooner, the 14 would have probably at least tied with the Busa or maybe even beat it.
The 08 is also heavier than the 06. Whatever the case, I would take the 14 over the Busa anyday, it just has more class!
I am very happy with my 06 and will probably keep it forever. I am hoping that since it was the first year produced, it might have some classic value in a few years, who knows? If not, it will aways be a classic bike to me.
I think possibly 10 years down the road, this bike will get peoples attention. I am also wondering when the government is going to clamp down on performance. Someday in the future, it may be impossible to buy a bike with the performance of a ZX-14. That would be sad but you have to wonder, the big G has tried to clamp down on everything else that is fun, so I don't expect them to overlook 186+ mph for very long.
Again, the ZX-14 no comparison!

uh last i know all bikes after 06 were regulated at 186 by the big "G", or was that what your were trying to say.

 

Yeah MM,
That's pretty much what I was trying to say. I just have the feeling that someday, they will drop it to 150 or 160 mph. I know that when you get over 150, you enter a new dimension of awareness, like, holy sh*t am I gonna live?
I guess it is just hard t beleive that they will leave it at 186 for too long. I hope I am wrong!
