ZX14 versus Hayabusa

[Titanium]

The ZXR 1400 is a ugly peice of shit, which looks something like a cross breed between a motobike and a rickshaw lol .. it's a fat ugly and chunky meat. In terms of power and torque did a bit of search it still in "TBA" stage to be announced.

But I reckon if they keep on competing they will end up with 2000c bikes which wont even look like bikes nemore..but the busa is a dream mate ! Smooth as anything ! Raaaah Go the busa anyday !

Quote of the week......

What do you mean IF.... there is already a 2300 cc bike..... you got to get out more.

Coming for a 250 cc rider / 11 year old bike........

Do some more research buddy ...... those figures are everywhere..... 163 - 171 RWHP / 99 - 105 RWT

check below link to a thread of 62 dyno runs ... from stock to over 200 BHP.

Cheers

For sure BMW make nice automobiles.
Should stick to doing only that.

went to see zx14 at mount eden to day left there not convinsed that i should change demo in store mid july i think he said . is there a comparison of the two out there on the web

I take it you didn't test ride the new 14 Pete? Once you do you'll be closer to a convincing decision matey.

[iwilde]

At the end of the day they're both doing the same job at 3x the speed limit.
I'd be happy to own either if I was looking for a sports tourer. Quasi's point was that you can't personaly mud the 14 unless you've owned it, or at the very least test riden it. Also, by what means did you arive to the conclusion that it's a piece of shit?

[UrbanMyth]

Buddy,just stop hear before he absolutely shits all over you mynameis.
And im sure he owns something closer to a 1400 then you..

Ridden one??
Even better...I've worked in two Beemer dealerships.
So I guess...I can comment on them.
They're shit.

[terbang]

Havn't ridden the 14 though it looks ok in the piccies.
Own a Busa and ridden it for 7000 kays and whilst it aint the prettiest of bikes it is an absolute pleasure to ride with surprising comfort. It'll be a while, if ever, before I ride it to its limits.

Ah Ha, new you were looking, something was said the other night and i asked if you were looking at a ZX14......mmmmmmmm
If i had the $$$$$$'s i would have one of those K1200's in one sixtieth of an hour..... but thats just me.......

Man, I so wish I had spoken to you before I bought mine.......

Yeah... they are THE shit.

Still not quite clear you have ridden one though........

[ZeroIndex]

is it just me, or did some posts disappear?

Good one mate.
And if you'd 'spoken' to me before you got ripped off (sorry, bought)....
You'd not listen anyway....because BMW riders kid themselves into thinking they've done well.
And I don't need to ride the latest incarnation of shit to know what they're like.
Expensive, heavy, shaft driven, sterile piles of poo. Purchased by people who want a wanky badge, and don't realise they could spend half as much and get a better bike from the land of the rising sun.

Tell me in your own words....what justifys the purchase price of one?
What do they do better than the rest?
Why does the motorcycle division of BMW lose so much money?

Cause I like it and can afford it...... fuck the badge ... if a jap, or brit or yank or italian bike appealed to me and looked looked like it and I could afford it I'd buy it to.

24k for a ZX-14 - $27K for a Bema ...... Whose getting ripped off?
