In an effort to keep pace with the Suzuki's new Hayabusa, Kawasaki engineers have tweaked the '08 ZX-14 to produce more power while meeting stringent Euro 3 emissions standards. According to Kawasaki, the whole goal of the mid-cycle refreshing was to enhance the bottom end.

well, guys i've owned both, and rode the snot out of them both and for me it's the zx14 hands down, the power is so smooth that it begs you to run it balls out, although the busa is a sexy bike, touring is out of the question, i'm 6'1" 290 lbs, both are awsome above 100mph but the 14 handles better at high speeds, the busa is more subject to wind resistance on the rider, at 160 mph on the 14 you still check your mirrors, try that on a busa & the wind will crack you neck. zx14 all day !!!

--this blonde guy with the glasses is pretty worthless- man he must have just winged it on one take..the most informative part of this video is the PR guy who gives the updates on the 2008 model. THAT is what this video should be--informal. Not some guy who just says "bitchin" -- that doesnt sell me.

The ZX and Busa are pretty even performance-wise,I've had 3 sportbikes,not faithful to any specific make or model,I'm faithful to a bike that brings me performance,looks and a nice ride,a bike that is as confortable crusing as it is speeding like there's no tomorrow

@KiimCheeElle: lol. just like how most American automakers try to talk down Honda and Toyota in their commercials, yet Honda and Toyota could really care less.

You know you're a threat to someone when they spend every waking hour trying to discredit your proven credibility.
