2008 Hayabusa Vs. ZX-14R Shootout

The busa is more pratical: it has more storage space, better milage, easier to work on. The zx14 has the best headlights & brakes but u have to remove alot of plastics/ covers to get to the battery & electrics.

to me gsx-r allways the best

Actually, it's a GSX 1300R.

ROFL damn the Kawa owns the Haya like 10 times in looks! GIMME 1!!! PLX

F**k off

stupid kraut

I am [insert really big adjective] amazed that two people actually agree on youtube. Good for us. I forgot a part in my argument that you'll probably agree with. Here:
The economical reason doesnt stand when you reach the end of a bike's life before changing category, but for ?[some->a few->a lot->most]?
people, you get tired after a year or two of riding, but then again it's a matter of opinion & situation. In my situation, my opinion is 500+.

yea dude i tottaly agree with you now 500 + cc could be economical but its dangerous for a newbie ive been riding for 2 and a half years now but and i dont think iam good enough to ride 1000+ bike the speed and power of those are too much for me right now

In conclusion, in my opinion it is necessary that you ride some time on a 600(R)-1200(Touring) before going on 1000+(R). Now, the reason why I say you should start with a bike in this category to experience a bit and S**t in your pants a few times is simply economical. It'll cost you less to start there than buying the 3 categories. But then, you have to estimate the risks for your life according to your judgment and temper. I had scooter since 14YO and bikes since 17YO(R6) & NEVER crashed

I did my courses on a Suzuki GS500 and I know they can pack a punch (we had much freedom on the road and trust me, I did all I could do). However, I didn't realize fully the strength and danger- of a bike until I jumped on a R6 and did 120-190-60km/h to clear my path and take a "switcher" (u know, between highways) and ended up 1m short of hitting the exterior. I'm glad I did this before jumping on a Hayabusa.

no a starter bike should not be a 500+ bike thats scary enough for a first timer idk what you think but they go fast enough and well if kids my age get on it then you can rest assured they are gonna get cocky and crank the throttle and do 150+ on it anything below 500 is good enough if your a starter a 250 or a 150 is the best bet to start then you can move on to better and bigger bikes

the kawa is an ugly peace of crap
lets face it kawa S**ks , ask John Hopkins, but thats maybe becouse hes amercan
u assholes vote mcain anyway

i love both of these bikes, it would be very hard to choose,would have to keep each one for about a week to really decide.

lol wonder how much the poster of this video payed youtube 2 get him the user name "motorcycle"

like i said before, i didnt speak to new drivers. Comparing sport bikes, I hardly see the practicle things, i think its just a matter of which one you like. For starters, i think the 250 is too small. They should take lessons first and hop on a 500+ bike (depending on size, mass, talent of rider). less than 600 is too easy to handle; they (CAN) get cocky and go directly for SS bikes when they change and get killed. A starter bike shouldnt be enough to be dangerous but enough to get scared

youre right its one of the worst bikes for starters but I didnt even enter the subject. Although th Busa doesnt handle as well as smaller race bikes, you cant say it handles like S**t because shitty handling means cruisers. the hayabusa handles better even than sport touring bikes. In the supersport categories, Busa handles difficultly compared to smaller bikes but you have to keep in mind that these bikes are already the best thing there is for handling. below 10kmh the Busa can be real touchy
