Kawasaki ZX-14 / ZZR1400 Acceleration

A demonstration of just how fast big bikes like the '14' and 'Busa' accelerate. As you will see, bikes like these will reach 150mph in under 10 seconds.

Very fast bikes...but there is a video on youtube Nissan GTR P800 vs Suzuki Hayabusa 2008...and guess what???Nissan rapes the Hayabusa...from a stand start....this is what i call unbelievable!!!

[Astonishist]

@GarretJordan There's no 'raping' going on in that video. The two are quite evenly matched, especially when the useless bike rider gets it off the line properly. The (heavily modified) GTR only pulls away once the bike hits the speed limiter. Still an impressive car though.

[GarretJordan]

@Astonishist The bike did NOT hit the speed limiter.They have had about 260-280KM/h and the GTR started to pull ahead.Hayabusa has a theoriticaly top speed of 340km/h so,even 300KM/h is NOT speed limiter.The GTR After 280km/h started to eat the Busa easily.Many bike riders liked your comment,but i think it is because they can't admit that one of the fastest production bike,got raped by an almost 2-tone car with theoriticaly "again" 800hp.This car is a miracle....

[Astonishist]

@GarretJordan Yes the bike DOES hit the speed limiter, and they ARE limited to 300kph (see I can type in capitals too). The two are neck and neck until the car leaves the bike at 300kph, when the camera turns and shows the cars speedo. To use the term 'raped' suggest the car leaves the bike for dead, which just does not happen. I don't dispute that the GTR is impressive, even in standard form, but let's just keep things in perspective a bit shall we.

@Astonishist still then lets see the cornering :D GTR is faster. +There also is the R1K version which is faster than the P800 GTR.

[Astonishist]

@mkampinga So you're saying that a vehicle with 4 wheels, with 4 massive tyres and brakes, costing upwards of 94000 euros, is faster round a track than one with 2 wheels, with much narrower tyres and less powerful brakes, costing around 12000 euros. I should f**king hope so. Proper bike v car track comparisons are hard to come by, but the BMW 1000RR is second only to the Arial Atom 500 round the Top Gear test track. Around 2 seconds faster than a standard GTR. Faster than McLaren, Veyron SS etc

Good video!

@GarretJordan You are a retarded fuck comparing a car to a bike. A car you can go full out from the start, if you do this on a bike your gonna flip on your back. Bikers have to take extreme precaution on a takeoff, and only skilled drivers and do this successfully.

Bikes can still get from 1-100 faster then a car, but when it comes to about 150-200 acceleration, a car will own it. I'm happy only spending $5K on a bike that has a faster acceleration then most $250K+ cars.

You guys keep talking about speed limiting. Easy to defeat, its all laid out in most motorcycle magazines. I've owned several big bikes, ZX-11, ZX-12, and road with some Busa guys. All of the bikes are fun to ride. Busas are probably a tad faster, but the Kawasakis are sexier bikes.

What is with these Nissan wankers !! I think they're a great car but guys, you don't have to compare them to every vehicle on YouTube.If you don't get what I'm talking about I'll type it again slowly ;) Enough already !!

l raced a GTR to town on a 50cc yamaha jog,gave it the winning finger salute.stuck in traffic.BYE LOSSER. CARS / YOU HAVE GOT TO SPEND THOUSANDS ON THEM TO TRY AND BEAT THESE INSANE STOCK SUPER BIKES.GET ON V BACK OF ZZR/BUSA ,YOU WOULD SHIT YOUR PANTS.

[suzukidrzsupermoto]

@GarretJordan you are a fool. lets see kawasaki develop a zzr to 250+ hp and it would kill the gtr and if they altered sprockets etc. plus i know i would rather spend 15000 rather than 90000 becasue i am not a silly nissan fanboy

[middoo08]

reading these comments made me hungry 

[chiefbeefofficer]

@GarretJordan

On another note, I would hope that a vehicle worth nearly 100K with mods would beat a nearly stock Busa.

[chiefbeefofficer]

@GarretJordan

Why is this surprising? Even if the Busa were not speed limited, the car gains the advantage at higher speeds due to a lower cooefficient of drag. The GT-R is a slippery wind cheating .30-.34 COD. Bikes on the other hand are like bricks in comparison. A bike may be in the .65-.75 COD. You can remove the mirrors on a bike and gain nearly 10mph in top speed do to less drag.

You've got some stones for pulling the trigger at +6K.
