    Refuse vaccines, they have Thimerosol(murcury), ammonium sulphate, aluminum phosphate, MSG and formeldehyde in them. Even if the World Homicide Organization says you need 2-3 shots to “immunize” yourself from the media hyped “swine flu”, which is really just a released bioweapon.

    Always better to stick to the old addage: Start small and work your way up. Seen too many grease spots due to people riding beyond their skill level.

  3. woodrax says:

    They both use radial mount calipers, but the ZX-14 uses a pump master cylinder and has more pads per piston. And yeah, the ZX has dual counterbalancers to the Hayabusa’s one. That is why the Kawi tends to stand for refinement, while the Busa (with dual injectors per cylinder and better suspension and riding position for sporting) for sportier touring.

    Suzuki Hayabusa Gsx1300 (2009) is world fastest motorcycle. You right bro kawasaki need to change the two lights because kawasaki is serious “UGLY”.

    Speed is not my goal , slow 12 O’clock wheelies are more fun in my mind .

  7. ggiizzmmo says:

    there both fast, and both horribly ugly, u win and lose either way

  8. iyeSCREAM says:

    I agree. My uncle owns a Yamaha

  9. zice39 says:

    get urself a 600. plenty of power and excellent handling. you’ll have more fun too.

  10. JayzBeerz says:

    both are awesome bikes but it depends on who riding it at the right time to see which one is better

  11. Fasttws6 says:

    I think its all on what you want to do on the bike and of course the experience that determines the size of bike you should get. Most people have who ride have started out on dirtbikes and if your going to go out and get a Hayabusa for your first bike the you have absolutely no common sense at all. Thats like putting a 16 yr old kid behind the wheel of a ZR1 Corvette.

  12. Fasttws6 says:

    Also if your going to get your first bike get a used 600 thats a couple years old because youll probably end up dumping it a couple times. Get the experience and take it easy on it for a while before you get over confindent on it. A 600 is a good bike to learn on and its light.

    Im 16 and my aunt lets me drive her 7.0 liter corvette around our local track….
    And im thinking of starting off my bike experience with a ducati 1198 instead.

  14. fm2h3 says:

    I might get a cheap bike first just to get the hang of motorcycles. Oh and I have been mountain biking for years, So I am not compleatly new to 2 wheels..

  15. Fasttws6 says:

    Well on a track your in a controlled environment but comparing a mountain bike experience to riding a sport bike is like oranges to apples. Maturity plays a big roll in riding a sport bike and im sure 90 percent of the people on here would agree. Thats to much bike for having no experience. The slightest mistake on a bike like that and your done. Anyways goodluck kid

  16. ninjatheory says:

    mountain bike…like a PEDAL bike?

  17. MrKingspade4life says:

    1400 is the uglyest bike on the road. busa isent as bad but its still not sayin much. i like 600′s and 1000′s.quick,grate handling,small..thats just my reasons way there the bomb

  18. fm2h3 says:

    Yea im not planning on being an idiot in this matter

  19. thedude808 says:

    good luck getting insurance

  20. BigBusaTamer says:

    The Busa was not intended for beginners or these throttle shy metro sexuals, I see cruising bike night. The average 600 packs enough to punch your ticket. It is the responsibility of each rider to develope his craft, and become one with his machine.

  21. Livelife417 says:

    what is the least dangerous, but still cool looking motorcycle for beginner? I want these types of bikes, not harley..
