I always think the busa is in a different class from the actual race bikes, although next time I will probably include it.

I think I would move into a 1200 kawa or a busa for my next one. f4i would be neat, just not enough of a jump for me. you never know, by the time I can afford another bike I might be old and want a cruiser. :shock:

your man on KP told me to give you hell, so I am going to have to do that at some point in time. :twisted:

In my opinion 1 litre bikes are too powerful. 180hp-too much for 99% of us. Even a 600R (they are 2.5 s 0-60mph) bike for beginners is like put a new driver in a F1 car.

most bikes have more potential than any rider ever uses. the ex500 is a heavily used race bike. I know I have yet to get my skills enough to scrap knees going 90 on it.

How bout them turbobusas and them supergixxers?

They don't make a ZX7R anymore. In a straight line it would be up to the ZX12R and the busa. On a track I would put my bets on the ZX-10R and the YZF-R1.

I'd pick the ZX-10R but I'm biased ;-) . As far as straight line acceleration, the 10 can deliver. A drag racer by the name of Norman Jackson has proven what a ZX-10R can deliver. He ran a bone stock engine ZX-10 with nothing but having the front end strapped down, gears, and I think a slip on with a power commander. Ran the 10 in the mid 9's at about 150 MPH in the quarter. I personally haven't ridden the other bikes listed. I don't think I ever will unless I end up buying one. Don't like to borrow other people's bikes as you never know what will happen. But the 10 is stout enough for me and I have no desire to squeeze out any more performance out of it.

The ZX12R and Busa can do sub 10's and mid 9's bone stock. Lower the front, change out the sprockets and we're talking low 9's easy. I really don't think I would classify them as superbikes though. In my mind a superbike are the ones they race in the heavy weight races. The 12 and the busa are just too heavy and acward to race efficently on the track.
