blackhawkxx Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 The last Cycle World tested them both. It said that the 14 was more comfortable on the street. It said the Busa handled better (like a big Gixxer) and had 10 more hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1000 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Here are two examples that shows the incredible potential of the Busa 08. 326 km/h with 100% stock engine, full system, TRE, non O-ringed chain. http://www.dragbike.com/dbnews/anmviewer.asp?a=3529&z=9 9.32 s pass on the quarter mile with stock exhaust system. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXn_QGgdsGI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1000 Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 I've now been using the Busa for a while and become used and even perhaps addicted to it. It is not as comfy as the Bird, but this is not a real problem for me. I tested a friends Bird -97 a few days ago and was then again reminded that the Bird is VERY comfy and capable. On the plus side is that the Busa has a lot more grunts. The bike was dynoed last sunday with and without dB-killer. The dB-killer takes out about 10 hp and reduces the power from midrange and up. There is also a pic where I have plotted the Busa curve on a dyno run that was made with the modded XX (ported head and other camshafts).
