New Kawaski Ninja 14: Same old Busa, New boreing colors. When I first heard about the New Kaw 14 I was excited about Kawasaki finally stepping up and taking claim to their crown because I knew (or at least I though I knew) that would facilitate an improvement to the Busa by Suzu. When all of the reports and numbers were finally confirmed and came in. I was amazed how brutally it defamed the Busa. My excitement was less for Kawi and more for the anticipation of what the new Busa would have in the waiting. So for months, weeks, days, hours and even seconds, I impatiantly waited for the release of the New 2007 Busa. I cannot today still believe I was able to contain myself until it's release! Since the busa has justifiably went virtually unchanged since it's debut in 1999, I was certain that it would quickly respond to Kawasakis challenge. I mean actually I love the cosmetic design of the Busa. The only changes I really wanted made was for a more powerful and ferocious motor, an updated tachometer, speedometer, odometer and maybe blinker side-view mirrors. Other than that...nothing. And I was really afraid when I started seeing the potential models of the Busa lurking around on the net, that looked like a space-alien GSXR1000. So finally when the new 2007 Busa was debuted on Suzukis official website I was blown away with heartbreak and disappoinment. The same old busa with ugly arse new colors!!! They treat us like kids, by limiting us to choose between 2 or 3 colors at a time! They need more variety in thier color options. But that wasn't really what had me lossed for wods. It was the fact that they didn't changed the motor. In which the motor is the heart of the Busa and is what gives it it's notariety. The monster powerplant that propells the machine from 0-100 faster than 99% of cars can get to 60! But now the motor isn't the fastest out there anymore. Kawasaki has came and raped its title away. At first I thought I was an Suzuki addict but now I realize that I wasn't an Suzuki or an busa addict. I was just an addict of power and speed. I just wanted to posses the most powerful machine out there. And I dismissed the idea of ever going over and getting the new Kawi. But now since Suzuki wants us to wait all the way until 2008 and see if they finally change the 7 year old Busa is just too long of a wait for me. So now i'm seriously entertaining the idea of that new Kawi. I didn't get it this year because I though Suzuki was coming out with a new Busa in '07 but since that didn't happen. I don't want to wait almost 2 years to "maybe" have a new Busa. I need to be the fastest and the best on the street. And right now Kawasaki is the only manufactuer to offer me that prestige. Believe me the last thing I want to do is buy a stinking Kawi. I've invested so much time, energy and money into the whole Busa thing. If you walk into my apartment I swear you'd think a Japanese man lived their. I mean I've got kanji logo's everywhere. Clock's, mouse pad, neon wall-mounted signs, rugs, towels, decals, welcome mats, minature model cycles, radio controlled cycles, shirts, sweaters, jackets, t-shirts, underwear, wallets, dog tags, caps, hats man you name it with a busa sign i bought it. But Suzuki's had 7 years to come up with a stronger Busa. And if I decide to get that new Kawai in 07 in the Busa comes better in 08. Suzuki are out of there stinking mind if they think i'm going to turn around and buy a new bike the next year! What do they think i'm rich or something!!! They should stay loyal to their customer's as we have stayed loyal to them!!!
