Ironically, I sold my ZX-14 a month ago and bought a Busa ! The ZX-14 is a comfortable ride, very fast, big and has good brakes. I got tired of the engine heat, the fan running constantly, the big size, poor handling and 33 miles per gallon on premium. Now that I am back on a Busa I am thrilled ! It seems so much lighter, better handling and cooler running. I feel like I am riding a GSXR1000 compared to riding the ZX-14. Not quite the horsepower of the ZX-14 but thats easy to fix if I need more. (I dont) Good luck to you and your hubby !
