in 2013 i bought a new 2012 left over candy sanoma red hayabusa, learned some great skills on handling such a big heavy stupid fast bird and coming directly from a 05 honda vtx for me was a huge huge learning experience in self control, it seems like every stoplight is someone then and now on a bike or scooter or ricer lol anything, trying you.but after several dumb show off stunts and near ditch wipe outs on curves and long straights with tunnel vision i can now say im done with all that i know what the bike is capable of and can relax and just enjoy it at sane and mostly legal speeds.anyway i was looking for some risers for my bike at the stealership when i came across this beautiful new green special edition 2014 zx14r(im not brand loyal to me if its cool its cool for all the haters out there.) sat on it it fit me i thought, being 6ft 3 theres not many choices for sport bikes.i knew the hype about this bike watched all the ricky gaddison stuff read all the reviews and decided to take it on a test drive,basically i was told thats a no go ghost rider(even though this new salesman saw me roll up on a busa,so it was buy it or walk i did walk but not far lol two weeks later i traded the busa in at a sizable loss and rolled out on the new 14r let me tell you the bike is awesome silky smooth shifts no vibration instrument layout better, traction control,and way better brakes seemed like a great bike,BUT/////// not for me the ergos did not fit me quite right(you cannot get a good enough feel for a bike just sitting on one in the show room) the wind hit me on the highway in ways that the busa does not(just my body type im sure but it sucked) i tried and tried to love this bike but i just couldn't get the love for it like my busa and realized my mistakepoop.so i went back to the dealership with tail tucked hoping my old bike was still there,yep it was and full of finger prints grrrr.long story short got dinged again on trade in but being id only had the zx for three weeks we came to a return trade in deal and i left the shop for the final time with my beautiful hayabusa.like others have said i love my busa it fits me like a glove i love the way it looks turkey butt and all its rock solid reliable and it gets more attention than the stay puff marshmallow man.also i dont need traction control because i have learned to ride my bike i cannot say enough good things about the second gen the only way i would ever trade or sell this bike is if im not physically able to ride anymore,hell i like just having it to stare at in my garage almost as much as riding it rock on.
