The blue ZX14R I saw on the showroom floor had nuts and bolts attaching the windscreen to the fairing, which compared to the design on the Busa, has an unfinished appearance. The area below the dash also seemed rough. The way the left and right fairings connect below the radiator seemed flimsy...

Saw the 2012 ZX14R at the dealer this weekend. While the performance of this bike is impressive, the styling, especially the fins and the front fairing, is a negative, and the fit and finish was lacking compared to my 2008 Busa. That being my opinion, most riders in this class aren't real...

I currently own a 2008 Hayabusa and a 2009 Vmax. The bikes have different design objectives. I would prefer better feedback from the front brake lever, and less weight. Otherwise the Busa, in my opinion, excels in any performance measure, and gets great gas mileage. The ergonomics are less...

Don't Worry. Suzuki will release a Gen III Hayabusa that will destroy all other bikes and all will be right in the world.:please:

Can I download this video onto my computer?

I really appreciate the Japanese car and motorcycle manufacturers. Their products are reliable, high-tech, and affordable. Absent these makers, Aprilia and maybe BMW are about the only other options I would have for my riding preferences. Unless a Korean company entered the motorcycle...

Are there any website sponsors that sell Staintune exhausts for a 2005 Honda ST1300? If yes, then please indicate pricing and shipping.... Thanks in advance for any responses.

My Suzuki screen was made in Spain...by Puig???? The fit, finish, and protection are excellent.

I should have mentioned this in the first response, given the high caliber of machines in this class, I think most people would be reasonably satisfied with any of these bikes. I own a 2008 Busa but would be content with a ZX14. When reading articles from magazines/sources that operate largely...

I have owned a 2005 Honda ST 1300 for four years and 16,000 trouble-free miles. The Honda, within the sport-touring segment, falls towards the touring side of the spectrum. The FJR lies towards the sport-side of the class. The handling and braking of the ST are decent for a bike with a wet...

My Suzuki Sport Touring screen was made in Spain....by Puig? Anyway the quality was excellent...the quality of the ZG Touring screen I initially bought was lacking.

Hello all, Has anyone combined wearing the Knox Multi-Sport Armored Shorts with the relaxed-fit Draggin Jeans? I would also wear Icon Field Armor-Leg underneath these Draggin Jeans. Specifically, can the Knox shorts be worn under the Draggin Jeans to provide hip, thigh, and rear-end...

I read a Cycle World article on the 2009 V-Max. The dyno figures were 174 hp and 114 lb-ft. For a 1679 cc, clean sheet design, new Japanese V-4, is this impressive?? Given the engine specs, I would have expected more. Did Yamaha artificially limit the bike to avoid government...

I recently read a thread on this website regarding issues riders have had shifting the bike after a Buell footpeg installation. The space and angle between the peg and the shifter is reduced/changed and makes shifting difficult when wearing heavy boots. Is this situation common? I was...
