@chrisjames2004 That was funny! We did do just that. I remember saying how I wanted a Ninja back in High School in the 90s. Good one.

@lgarvey1979 Sorry lol, I meant the new BMW was running very fast. Well built but very expensive here. Dealers are asking more than MSRP. I would rather have the new zx-14 personally, Take care.

@nosfed92gt Hey bro, thanks for the reply. What does "getting it" mean? From where I come (UK) it would probably mean the bmw "was gettting killed", eg.. it got beat.

[nosfed92gt]

@lgarvey1979 I am for familiar with the ZX and BMW. They are both fast for 1000cc engines but the BMW has been getting it at the local track here. Bone stock motor with 200lbs suited riders going 5.7s @132 mph with a pipe, lowered, extended, etc...

[lgarvey1979]

@nosfed92gt How about the new zx10r or s1000r which run at ~ 200bhp... reckon they'd compete with a 2012 zzr1100 in a staight race?

The 50th anniversary V&M Honda CBR1200 Super Blackbird still makes lunch still out of a Busa and a ZZR1400..until 18mths ago it was the fastest and most powerful production bike and held the honour for nigh on a decade..I think I've seen just one in the States, imported from the UK. Ok, those sports tourers can get up there quickly, the RC8R is more than quick and the S1000RR can also give them more than a run for their money in the more nimble sports category..

[revrsleeker]

BUT there is a car that can beat the lot of them AND a Bugatti Veyron to 100mph, in fact 0-100 is under 5.5secs..if you get the chance, coax \ cajole or even threaten the guy lol but you must get a dealer let you test drive a tiny Ariel Atom 500hp V8..an absolute masterpiece, a bikers dream car with all the fun of the bike and at under $40k you could buy FORTY of them for the price of one Bugatti and still have $100k in change...

[SAYYOURROSARY]

Yeah I'm here cuz I'm interested in the new 2012 Z14R They say a dufis like myself can run 10 second 1/4 miles at 145 with the kiddie traction control turned on . I'm interested !

It was pretty obvious on staging that ate busa rider had infinately more skills than the guy on the zx14, try matching similarly skilled riders.
