The Busa is the fastest production bike...for now. Don't get me wrong. I am a very big fan of the bike. The issue here is that we have no solid performance numbers for the ZX-14 as this model has just been announced. It surprises me, however, that folks here are ready to dismiss the new Kawi because it looks clunky, clumsy, and not as 'purdy' as the Busa. Well, I'll reserve judgement until I see solid performance numbers from the Kawi. I'd like to see a shootout between the Busa and ZX-14. Heck, why not throw in the so called "Busa hunter," the BMW K1200S in there and make it a three way! While I'm eagerly anticipating what the fastest bike of 2006 will be, I will happily ride like most others do in the real world; well below 186mph, thereby reducing my chances of becoming roadkill!

My point is they cannot break the record so the bus will remain. The bike will have to modified to break the record, thus for not being stock. Not to take anything away from Kaw, but I think they could've done a better job on their design. The 12R looks much better than the 14 even with it's camaro SS mirrors.

I can't argue with you there. The Busa already set the record before the restrictions were added. It's bikes like those that make me glad I'm a Suzuki owner. God, I want a Busa bad. Santa, can you hook a brutha up?
