Cheeky,
Since I am the first to respond and have bare minimum knowledge about the subject - All I can say is that itâ€s proven world over that a stock Busa K8 and above - has more power and performance the a stock ZX14. Having said that there are few things to look into here.
If you need an exhaust for your own pleasure and enjoy the performance then there are many choices. Yes you save weight (approx 10 Kg) and you gain power - but along with exhaust you will need other bits and retuning to have the effect. And now maters which one you choose they are expensive so do your research and then make a decision.
Now your comment on: 'what I want out of my bike is to be able to beat the living daylights out of his and stop the bragging rights'
A bike is as good as the rider, (please donâ€t get me wrong) - example here - I went to ride with Simon and other fellas - man they were fast - on street I was tailing behind them - but I always remained in my comfort zone - which is important to every rider.
I only have a standard 00 busa and my son always compares it with every bike on the street and says dad since yours can go to 340 KM you can beat him... this is exactly how you are sounding in the above statement.
Now coming back to your Mechanic - what type of mod has he done to his bike, re-chipped, computer, exhaust, carbon wheels etc etc. well if you are following him and trying to beat him in the battles of the mod then itâ€s a correct approach.
Or else forget about it - enjoy your black 09, itâ€s the best bike in the business for speed and this your mechanic also knows.
Now I am almost sounding like a father......apologies if I have made you mad or have not appreciated your riding talents or hurt any one in any way.
Just wanted to share my view.
PS: a Gen1 Turbo can beat the living dayylights out of him and cost less then K9....
Cheers,
Bill
