Soon to be getting a 2014 Ninja 1000. The Busa will be staying in the family as my son wants it. Anyone have any experience with the 1k?

I don't have any experience with the bike, but I've heard nothing but great things about it.

Something like this would make a great commuter. Enjoy the new ride!

I love them! But don't like the factory bags. Love them with the givi v35 bags though. Don't like the rear end of the factory bags.

Found a couple comparison pics.

I'm sure going the Givi route would save you money as well.

The Givi bags are a bit bigger but more ungainly on the 2014. The new bags are made specifically for the redesigned sub frame. I rode with a guy on a 2012 model with the Givis and they looked "off". The new ones look like a part of the bike and not an after thought. That's my take anyway.

Enjoy brother

Will do and am already lurking on the Kawi forums

Understood. I just can't stand the Star Trek look on the back if the bags. uke:

Let me know if you find a decent one...

It looks really racy & sporty, but it's really a bolt-upright sport-touring machine. I was surprised at how relaxed the ergos are. Get so used to be leaned forward on the busa.

Enjoyed riding it, but always happy to get back on the busa.
