Busa 1, ZX 14 TOTALLED!!

[Tango1300]

Well... I put on some new shoes and went with the Metzler M3's again. This time I put on a 180 rear tire and I LOVE IT!! OMG!! This bike pivots hard!

Well... doing the twisties on some back roads the Busa went around the turn but the ZX14 wasn't so lucky. My friend just couldn't get the bike to hang the turn, carried too much speed and the touchy brakes locked the front tire when he tried to slow down!!

Well you know what happens next... He dumped onto the ground, bike slid into the oncoming lane and was struck head on by an SUV!!! Another friend was following and came around the corner, had ZERO time to react to the pieces of ZX14 all over and Endoed straight into the ZX14! He suffered a fractured Clavicle and totaled CBR 600RR. My buddy with the ZX14 got skinned knee.

Another reason you just cannot play with the Busa when you can't handle your Kawi!

Looks like a CHOPPER now!

Bummer! Glad he wasn't hurt more. What PSI does he run in his tires?

[qwknuf6]

Looks bad , glad he is ok

He argued with me weeks ago about the tire pressure. Said he'd run them at the recommended tire pressure on all his bikes. Well... today was his wake-up call.

[warwgn]

he got real lucky huh.

[Tufbusa]

Damn man, I hate to see a nice bike like that all wadded up. He is a lucky dude he didn't end up under the suv along with the bike.

Looks like a good example of bad judgement, riding far beyond his skill level. From all I hear and read the 14 actually corners better than the busa. It's just suffering from a bad case of "Ugly".

Tell your buddy he should buy a lottery ticket

[GSXcite]

Sorry for the spill. Could have been much worse.

[Charlesbusa]

I'd like to have some of those "touchy" brakes, radial brakes rule!

Your friend is really lucky he didn't get hit by the SUV!!!

[MrGxr]

OUCH!!! not a pretty picture no matter what the bike was... glad your Friends walked away from this. People have to remember to ride within their abilities not the ability of those they are riding with...

[Devil Dog]

O, so lucky.

[jayy]

luck isnt the word i would use.....more like blessed i would say

[runeight]

wow!..smiling like it was cool?

He cheated death but it hasn't sunk in yet.

Glad everyone is fine. Looks awful.

runeight...

[Ruben]

Wow... lucky guy smiling... Happy he's ok

[05 Busa LE]

Man, thank God he's ok, and prayers out for your friend on the Honda.

[Busa Dreamin]

I would'nt be smiling if I just totaled my bike.

[tourbus]

ive ridden both and the 14 handles better than my busa looks like rider error 2 me

[tinmann840]

I wouldn't be possing if I'd mangled my ride like that .

[Revolution]

+1, and hope there were'nt any kids hurt in the suv, or the driver for that matter.
