Looks very nice Can't imagine why it took trouble shifting ? But as you say, if there are more tuning options on the Busa, could be the answer. I'm also not sure they're as well known as the Busa ? I'm happy with mine though and got a few tweaks to put on it in the "off-season" so see what happens with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony nitrous 0 Posted October 31, 2012 I wonder if folk see the Busa dragbike / ghostrider / landspeed thingand think they are buying into the legend, in a way it's like boring old men thinking they're outlaws on a piece of crap Harley.I've met a few Busa owners well out of their depth! One thing that go's against the ZX12 is the 1400 Kwak.Folk think the 12 is old / small but personally I'd take the12R over the 1400 myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very poor idea.Awful linked brakes ?Poor ground clearance ?All the one's here have spacers fitted to make them useable) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sweban 0 Posted November 5, 2012 Try XJR 1300 or GSX 1400 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fr499y 0 Posted November 5, 2012 XJR's are nice bikes, but the forks are a little soft ( which is why a lot of them have been dropped ) but with a bit of tweaking/new springs there awesome bikes. GSX is the other option which is more sorted on the suspension front. Can have our thunderace for £1500 if ya want though lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
