Busa. I think Suzukis are better bikes by far. Cornering, not that great on the busa, but what can u expect on that heavy of a bike. The Busa also looks a million times hotter!

plus i can't see the bike while riding it..lol
I agree. I dont think either bike is good looking. I have started to like the busa just because i have gotten use to the styling after seeing it for years now. The Kawi will grow on people too. Aslo Kawasaki has over the years had the fastest bike made untill the Busa was released. I have always liked Kawasaki and i think i would take it over the Busa and i am will to bet it will be faster also.

You can't outrun technology.
There's no way 1998 technology will be positioned to be competetive with 2006 technology.

My 2 cents.... the new Kawasaki will be far superior that the existing Busa.

Cool

Numbers-wise, I'd lean towards the ZX-14 because as Cecil said, technology rules here, and as stated before, Suzuki is sure to update the Busa next year as a result of the ZX-14. One more thing, despite being based on the proven technology of the other Kawi bikes, it is a first year run. There may or may not be some bugs to work out. I suspect it will ultimately be the same as with the smaller bikes, nearly comparable in most categories, to which it comes down to comfort and preference. Just my $.019

Edit: BTW, I voted for the Busa because I think the Busa looks better, not because I'm a Suzuki guy. Truth be known, I'd drop the 750 in a second if I could afford one of the 2006 R1 LE's.

I vote for the zx14... I could be wrong but it looks like you could take the front fairing(including headlights) from a zx-10 and swap it in if you dont like the 4 eyed look....

If you could replace the front fairing with the 10R, then I could find myself liking the ZX-14. There is just something about the Busa though...I just love the Busa.
