Don't like the old ones, don't like the new ones. Did they change anything engine wise with the bike?

I could google, but I don't really care about the bikes that much. How does the new busa compare to the zx14?

The wierd bubbles on the side of the tail section are ugly. All together it's not horrible. I like the headlight area better than the prior model.

a spec b spec...who gives a expletive?! I hate that ****. Anyways styling wise I think its worse because its almost too aggressive looking and the lines don't flow cleanly. On the other hand they've already been known to put down 175+whp and 110 ft/lbs. STOCK!

I prefer the first generation. The article in Motorcyclist was a good read.

i think it looks better than the 1st gen but its still ugly as hell... its like the 18 wheeler of the sportbike world.

its putting down some good numbers performance wise but id rather get a zx-10r and be almost as fast and a hell of alot better handling
