That thing has lowered, which makes a good difference on the strip.

Which shows that it not the hp but the ability to use it. This is why the expected difference in time in the 1/4 is small but the terminal speed difference is quite a lot.
12/13 zxs are still high 9s without front straps and rear lowered.

Anyone else going to the cliffhanger sprints?

I am taking my Gen 1 Busa
Just need a person with a Gen 2 and a ZX14R now. Settle this beef in a straight up grudge match drag hahaha.

Got a feeling that we might see factory turbos on these bikes within the next ten years. As long as still you can remove the 299kph limiter im all for it

I want to take mine to see if the reflash took the limiters away.

How much did it cost to get it reflashed? Did you have to send it overseas?

Generation 2 zx1441r 2012 and 2013 is a low 9 stock. The 2013 busa also has more hp and cc.

I think you may be trolling gen1 zx14 <2011

Guhl reflash. I think was 600.I had it done before collecting the bike while waiting for pipes. Sent to usa took, 2 weeks to get it back.

I took a ZX14 ( last model ) down at Ruapuna a few months ago but only just and low 10's and that was a lot of fun on my Gen 2.

Any real life stories Mossy ?

That's the generation 1 zx14 1352cc
Generation 2 is 1441cc with 20odd extra hp and more torque plus traction control and run under 10sec even with traction control on. On this setting hp is limited to 175 in first and second gear also.

Fuck mate you make it sound like low 10's is bad or something. Top effort chap.

Hey mossy, highy recommend you check out Schnitz Racing. They would have done your ECU for 60USD. I have ordered over $2000USD worth of turbo parts from them. Highly recommend them, Ryan also runs a drag school so only stocks the best shit available.

I was looking for invoice. Cant find yet but wife says she thinks we paid 1450 for yoshis and reflash and yoshi tail tidy which means reflash including insured freight was about 450 through brock's performance. the return freight was 55usd with insurance of that price and I think the sending freight was $50nzd. I got the bike shop to do it for me before I purchaced the bike.

Got some 10 evens at Masterton but must admit once the wheel came up I didn't want to let it down again.
Wasn't very good at it. My best reaction time was .7 sec. I think terminal speed was between 230-240kph every run.

Found some of my zx12r results from 2005. Seems like I won.

Agreed 100%. I remember a turbo GSXR1000 here in NZ that apparently was slower down the 1/4 than a standard one. Makes sense.
