Yer....Ricky Gadson just pulled 184RWHP on a bone stock...completely stock 08 ZX14. These things are power monsters, but in stock form they are very heavily limited. The busa has electronic restriction at the most whereas on the stock 14, the secondary throttle plates don't open till around 7000rpm. Take them out and holy shit it pulls soo hard.
Stock for stock, yes I think the 08 busa is better power wise, but just a few mods later...its either the 14 putting out close to 200 at the rear or neck and neck. And I still do think the 08 is terribly ugly.
I love the black busa's & the copper busa's...hell even some other funky colours for the originals. But the new one is just too bulbous for me...it looks like its just swallowed a snake. Long live the old busa! I may just pick one up down the track and own both! best compromise..lol
Maybe since having the fzr I'm just in awe coming back to a big bike but i can't be sure yet...it definately pulls harder than the copper, but shall see the true results once i've done full 4-2-1 exhaust & PC3.
