I had a hayabusa and now I own a zx14 and to tell the truth I’ll stay Kawasaki all the way!!

Had three 'Busa's. A Gen 1 and two Gen 2's. Great bikes but not that comfortable to be honest. Especially on a longer trip. Now have an '19 ZX14R SE. Love the better riding position, the soft seat and the mumbo is off the planet when you turn the throttle. The Ohllins shock is sublime. Makes we want to get on it and go for a ride when ever I can. Just swapped the original exhausts for R77 Yoshimuras- Stainless slip ons , not the Carbon variety. Much cheaper and better looking in my eyes. Each to their own. The ZX14R is the bike I always wanted. What a machine.

I have owned 6 Hayabusa (all gens) and 2 ZZR1400's. I actually just swapped my 2023 Hayabusa for a 2013 ZZR1400. Fair to say I am of the opinion the Kawasaki is the superior machine.

@@blazimus_ Not much. It's basically the same machine, just some minor details. The ZZR is the European version, the ZX the American. I had a 2009 ZZR and it had a standard fuel pump lock, the ZX didn't. Don't know much about the later versions. They added traction control on the ZZR in 2012? Same engine is in the Kawa GTR 1400, with two cooling fans. Stopped riding in 2019 due to an accident. Totalled the bike. Totalled me. Had a blast riding it for 10 years.

Catfish video. Instead of taking a side & giving us a winner, they just went through each of the bike's features. We already know that shit & know about preferences. The title suggests by saying, "You won't believe who is actually better!" Like they planned to give us an answer but didn't. If this is how they answer the question to just one video, Why subscribe?

Zx14r is faster stock, busa has superior tech and a deeper culture/fanbase (and I think it looks better, but they could both do with a face-lift).

​@@HeldIntegralpaint and body. Agreed.

I found the ZX14R to be more comfortable, and in stock form, it's faster. I have done a couple track days on mine and it's been sublime, for what it is. That said, it needs an update to modern electronics, like the Busa has... Modern IMU, quick shift with auto blip, etc...

I'll decide for you - ZX14R, I had three Busas, I loved them all. But it's something about that ZX14 race power and light on its wheels!

Simple choice, the zx14r: looks better, faster, more comfortable and can do everything else as good as the Hayabusa

I have both gotta say the 14 is more comfortable but I like my busa better

Nothing like using 100,000 words when 10 will do

For comfort zx14r

They are not sport bikes and not super bikes. The category is sport touring, just like K1600GT. Too heavy and soft for sport (GSX-R, Ninja, R1), too powerful and uncomfortable for touring (Versys, Goldwing).

The ZX14R is like it tried to be a doppelganger of Hayabusa. It has the similar shape & dimensions of Busa which is amusing.

Haha, someone got butt hurt.

People say the Hayabusa is sport touring and I always think who’s riding that thing for hours? Yeah it’s more comfortable than say an R1 or Fireblade but you’re still leaning forward, knees tucked and feet back. If I ride mine for more than 30 minutes I start to feel it. Not to mention the vibration in the throttle if you’re cruising at low RPMs. Because low RPM cruising isn’t what the engine is made for I guess. I would never recommend a Hayabusa as an option for touring.

Fair enough mate, but the torque on these big engines is lovely to use, when it's paired to a reasonably flickable chassis. You can go into a corner fast and stable because they really hold their line and once on the way out, you roll the throttle and Fuck off into the horizon. Plus the weight of the bikes makes them a lot nicer to use at high speeds over here in the UK, as a lot of the surfaces are in need of repair. You hit a crappy patch on these and they just roll over it. Believe me, I've ridden a lot of bikes all the way up from super light 2 stroke 250's to 'blades and GSXRr's. I've had tank slappers, back ends coming out on me, speed wobbles, unscheduled wheelies, the lot. I love my 'busa gen2. SUPER STABLE at very high speeds! And I'm over 6ft, and fit nicely on this bike. I also get a lot of respect on this bike, because these things are famous for what they are. I've even experienced that cars make way for it. The 1340cc engine sounds awesome through two R77's. It sounds heavy and bassy. I always have to put people right when they say it's the fastest bike in the world though haha. There's faster stuff out there now. OR....do I spend 5 grand and fit a super charger to it. Nah. It's great as it is. Ride safe mate.
