Default ZX14 VS Ducati 1098R

I have a buddy bragging about his 1098R can kill my ZX14. He told me to put the PC3 the works it did not matter. I think he is just mad that I spent almost a 1/3 for my bike than he did. I know I can take him I know his bike is the nastiest V-Twin out there but what do you guys think.

hmm, I have not ridden a 14 yet nor the 1098. Although seen a good launch from a rider on a 1098, and it will go fast. I think that the launch would be key between the two, with the 14 taking the day depending on rider and setup. I am only viewing this as between a 1098 and the 10r actually because that is what I ride.

honestly it is not that I am the fastest but this guy seems to believe that money is the fastest. I just want to prove a point is all. I would spank this guy. Come on in real life. But I do want to prove that just because you have money you are not the fastest. I will kill this guy. I know my bike does`nt corner like his or would even try. I even admit this. But don`t say you will kill my bike because I do go to the strip and I will run constant high 9`s

A high 9 will do it depending on the start of course. I see your point though, personnally, run it and see what he says afterwards. Ya gotta love optimism

HAHA!!

the 14 is designed to let grandma run low 10's/high 9's all day long.

you got this cat.

displacement: check
grip: check
200HP: check
revs: check

i beat exotics on a 94 ZX6-E..... they can pay $215,000 for that italian sportscar... i still have the upper hand.

I think you should spend more time racing and less asking hypothetical questions.
