;D

Well... you'll be able to find lots of clips online... and then what? :o

maybe he thought life was to good to be cut short for a few moments of glory :) I remember now. have seen this clip before! mate sent it to me. anyone can ride like that in a striate line, if they have a death wish! myself and my mate where taking everthing into consideration when compairing theses 2 bike's which included acceleration,topend,handeling,brakes,riding position. e.t.c. both myself and my mate who as owned his 2008 model hayabusa from new, agree the zzr1400 is the better allrounder and is a tad quicker right through the gear box.  anyway I'm not just talking about speed. let's be honest! theses 2 bikes are that quick we don't need to use all the power available in normal riding conditions anyway. when we did test the full power available it was not on a public road. but on a drag strip under controlled conditions. "unlike like the idiot in the clip" :o

@2kwacks:


Oh my lord .....

Surely it is not strength or how fast you can get from A to B. It depends on how the engine and features on the bike in interaction works. And in that respect, there is * NO * ZZR14 who just may measure up slightly compared to the Hayabusa. This remains the world's best sport touring bike. Which probably is the reason that more people are buying Hayabusa than ZZR1400.

I have owned both bikes - and ZZR14 can not compare with Hayabusa, when used as a sports touring bike - or if you need fast around the Nürburgring. Drag Race says nothing about how a bike is .... you'll come just from A to B.

Just my 2 cents ... from the real world;-)

I beg to differ ;) I'm not just comparing theses 2 bikes in a drag race! still think the zzr1400 is the better all rounder ;D suppose we will need to agree to disagree :)

Ridden both,Owned a Busa for 4 months and I hated it, Busa is great if you're short of leg and don't carry pillions. I'm afraid I'm with 2kwaks on this one ;D

[Kevin]

Busa is great if you <snip> don't carry pillions.

Really? I must tell Lyn that as she obviously doesn't know. Admittedly she hasn't ridden that far in a day on one, I think 650 miles'ish was about the most.

(I do qualify for the 'short legs' bit though)

So... if you where a midget... you'll agree with me then?  8)

Anyway...  when it comes to robust built engine...  then the Hayabusa takes the glory!

They are a lovely looking bike but I've only ridden a ZZR for about 50 miles so don't have enough experience of them to comment. I do remember it being a stretch to the bars.

There are few ZZRs doing Top Speed events, they're mostly Hayabusa, but Richie does very well on his:



Edit: I was looking for something else and saw the picture above, which was from UKBusas no longer showed. I've corrected it.

have enjoyed this discussion :) however I'm sure there's one thing we can agree on! that this discussion as been and allways will be strangled to death, with the same conclusion which is :-\  think of it another way. if theses 2 bike's were not as good as each other there would be nothing to discuss to great length ;) so why did I go for the zzr1400, well thats because have mostly allways had kawasaki, and it all started 1978 with a KH250. the fact the zzr1400 slightly comes on top is a bonus thou ;) :) ;D

Or it could be that seat to bars on the ZZR is longer than it is on the Hayabusa. Which of course it is.

yea! but as a general rule. if you can stand straite and look down straite and still see your toes then this should not be a problem ;D

And Honda's?   ;)

how did the honda get into this discussion ;) they don't make a hyper sports tourer do they? "I mean one that can still cut it" ;D
