Glad we have somebody converting from a ZX-14 to a Busa...about time the ZX-14 owners started realizing what an incredible machine the BUSA is!

I also have bought bikes there, Good peeps to deal with in my
Opinion.

Actually I owned a 2006 Hayabusa which I traded for a 2006 GSXR1000. Last year went looking for another Busa and was tempted to the dark side by a great price on a used ZX14. It isnt a bad bike but I prefer the Busa and I really like the solid red 2007. (even without spikes)

Enginewise the ZX14 is fantastic. It is scary fast and can hold its own with any Gen1 Busa comparably modded. There are a few things I dont like about it such as the low oil pan, open loop fuel injection, poor airflow to radiator and 5,000 pieces of plastic to remove anytime I want to work on it.

If I had a Busa with a ZX14 engine I would keep it. In other words (blah, blah, blah) I like the engine in the ZX14 but not the rest of the bike. Whereas I like everything about the Busa. Whew...too long a post.

This was my 2006. Should have painted it red and kept it.

[teamorion22]

Looks beautiful. In fact, it looks just like my bike!! As Demmym says...fastest color... and scientifically proven.

How many miles on her?

 

[UncleSteve]

Cap, call me I will meet you there and we can both check it over for him..

 

[captain]

Ok so Busa159 and I ran over there at lunch today and checked it out. We both looked it over good before we announced our decisions.. I will let Busa159 tell you what he thinks but I would not buy this bike.... Here are the reasons...

1. Chain is BAD! This indicates improper maintenance
2. The inside of the radiator is all banged up from where the 4-1 exhaust was installed.
3. The right side of the lower fairing is burned from the exhaust.

Also there is no hump but they do have the grab rail

There are a few little scratches here and there but for a bike with 5800 miles it looked beat up IMO. Here are some pics...

Captain and Busa159: Its 440 miles round trip to OKC from here and thanks a million for saving me that needless drive. I really appreciate the pictures and the time you both took looking it over. It sure looks like a beater to me also. Hard to believe someone could treat that bike so bad in such a short time. Also hard to believe the dealer wouldnt at least replace that chain before putting it in the showroom. Anyway, thanks a whole bunch and if I can ever reciprocate please let me know.
