Don't know what to say to that other than Suzuki has continued the Hayabusa and Kawasaki has discontinued the ZX14R....
I don't know who they had ride the Hayabusa but out of the box with a decent rider they can turn the 1/4 mile much quicker than the numbers posted...
In everyday riding, there isn't a whole lot of difference between the two bikes.
Begrudgingly, I know this is what the latest Hayabusa will be best at-real world riding. All the electronic aids will allow a rider to put the power to the ground much better than the previous version could/can.
It doesn't matter if the zx14r is discontinued, I think Kawasaki told Suzuki to lay low?

I personally don't care about what manufacture has the fastest sport bike in a straight line. I love my kawasakis and if I wanted a zx14 I'd have one instead of the hayabusa. The hayabusa is still the fastest if your comparing apples to apples. Kawasaki added 100 more cc's to a na engine, and now its faster. So the next year does hayabusa add 200 cc's to get back on top? Why not just go back an forth and add a additional piston every year till they get so big and heavy they need 4 wheels? To claim the zx is truly the faster better bike then it needs to be done with the same size cc engine, imo. Otherwise just start strapping jato packs on them till u need wings lol
I honestly don't think Kawasaki has that amount of "clout" to tell Suzuki anything.
If Suzuki saw the necessity to dominate, they would have built the bike to do that as they have done so before. In saying that, where would it end just as @Tb3 said, it will just get out of hand-this year we have a 1500 then turbo then whatever all in a bike which would be uninsurable and not rideable.
What they have built is a bike which will be used for real world riding-the ability to go fast, corner and be ridden for hours.
You can say the same thing with the zx12r 100cc less. Aldo these bikes are to heavy for the corners, there are better options for cornering and touring.
It took Them 10 years to build what? Yes if they are a new company, but Suzuki havet been in the game for a long time. It should just take them 1 year.
It took them 9 yrs to create the gen 2...the Hayabusa is just a good all around motorcycle, you can tour (even 2 up), carve back roads, rip the 1/4 and ride to work all on the same bike...not very many bikes can say that.
It took them how many yrs to get the Katana right-around 30 or so and that was just revisiting an older GSXR platform.
Suzuki is just a slow company when it comes to building stuff...
In the same breath, Kawasaki used the '86 1000 Ninja as the base for it's Concours for how many years??
You can basically do that with any bike? Dont forget that Kawasaki makes ships,submarines,helicopters,turbines.
No problem did you say 10000cc?
Aaaaww c'mon man, that was a Kawasaki bought and paid for rider on that Busa . . a Kawasaki advertisement ffs!
I'd happily go up against that nancy-boy Gadsen on my '99 Gen 1 any day.
