    Yeah, well, I like the K7 dual exhausts.

    Guarantee the new bus will have more 'edge' styling, less 'blob'. Betcha it looks nicer than the ZX14.

    so.. it's going to just catch the zx14 then and not smash it outta the water? new engine setup so mods will take a little while to come through, can't use old turbo systems straight onto it without mucking around for dragging setups blah blah blah... look forwards to seeing the numbers. interesting how they making a bigger deal about the b-king than the bus..... guess bus is further away though.

    all the 6 cyl rumors were incorrect then.. would have loved to seen a 6 cyl busa :d

    Well that depends on what magazine review you read.

    NC4r - there were systems out before the zx14 was offically released, some special part manfucators often get bikes to get parts ready for market place quickly.

    Rumour as it the 6 cylinder will be coming, but in theory it wouldn't be a busa if it was a 6 cylinder would it? GSX (one of those stands for 4 cylinder)

    Well it wouldn't be a GS now would it, so no, not a busa.

    I don't think anyone is ever going to acuse the ZX14 of being a good looking bike, but I have to say they have a certian presence on the road, kind of angry and don't piss me off look to them. I quite like them in electric blue but not a big fan of the black ones which is what the '07 R1's look best in.
