Well, after months of research on both motorcycles I am still torn between the two. I probably know these bikes better than the dealer I will buy them from. I like the busa because it is a little closer to a "sportbike" than the zx-14. it has more power, better handling/suspension, and a...

lets see a pic with the zx-14 mirrors if they do in fact fit. i dont really like the busa mirrors.

Looking to get my 08 in a month or two but got a quick question. when you are riding around (either freeway or around town) do you feel the heat of the engine drafted onto your legs from the body work? or does it do a good job at keeping the heat off of you? thx

hey guys, thanks for all the great support and comments. I have been speaking with the operations manager over at ridegear.com . we have resolved the situation and the guilty parties have been punished. they did a great job of cleaning up this mess. thanks again

After my nasty emails they refunded the money i sent them back to my paypal account so now i am just out the time and stress of this entire process. I want to go after these guys but i can get get a hold of anybody there. there were more posts on this thread but the original thread was deleted...

Ok, i bought an Alipinestars jacket from them over 3 weeks ago and have yet to hear anything about it. finally they email me yesterday and tell me it is on back order and wont ship for another 1-2 weeks. I reply and ask if there is anything that can be done to speed things up. somehow their...

im really close to buying an 08 busa and am putting my list together of the things i want to do to it. one think i want to do is change out the metal front brake and clutch fluid reservoirs to the round plastic ones found on the repli-racers. not for weight reasons or anything, just a personal...

ultimately i would like to take a ride on both. i pretty much have the busa figured out. the owner of the dealer i may buy one from bought one and will let me ride it. im sure i can find somebody on my local riders forum who has a zx will let me take a spin on theirs. from my reading. for the...

hey fellow riders. im bouncing between buying an 08 busa and an 08 ZX-14. so far i have been able to find a lot of literature and reviews on the zx including break in dyno runs, drag strip slips and impressions, as well as video reviews. i havent been able to find a lot of stuff on the busa...

Hi guys. Question for the 08 busa owners. what is the wheelie potential of the new busa. Power wheelies i mean. I am by no means a stunter but i do like to pop the occasional wheelie. is it pretty easy to bring up in the first 3 gears? do you have to chop the throttle or load the front forks...

I live in washington state.

So i go into my suzuki dealer the other day to talk numbers on a new busa. I have bought 4 brand new bikes from this place in the last 5 years. they just recently switched owners and the new owners are a bunch of jerk offs. Just two months ago they buttered me up with this story that they want...
