12 is almost a sports tourer like the busa. they are larger more comfortable bikes with huge engines. the 10 is a super street bikes, designed for the twisties. just my take on it. i am sure someone will be along soon to tell me i am an idiot, but what the heck. thanks god bless.

I think it depends on what you want to do with the bike. If you want to drag it, I'd say the 12 because of a stronger aftermarket. I will say the 10 is quite a bike. It may be a more 'multi purpose' bike and a better fit for riders used to a smaller bike. Personally, I have my eyes on an 05 all black 12. :D

Pretty much what has been said.....really just depends on what you want the bike for. The Busa and Zx12 are actually really comfortable bikes that are nice to take on long rides. And they happen to haul ass too ;) I haven't ridden a Zx10....but I have ridden a 636, and they feel like you are ontop of a pocket bike compared to what I am used too :)

From real world experiance....the Zx12 and Busa are pretty much neck and neck....depends on the day, the moons in alignment, ect. Nick ran consistant 6.1's @ 119mph on his stock, lowered, with a pipe....and my bike setup the exact same way ran 6.14's @ 118.x....I was alittle heavier, he 60' better, I would MPH better sometimes, you get the idea. The Busa was easier to launch harder by a LONGSHOT...torque does wonders! Now, from what I have seen of the Zx10....with a good rider, its just as fast. Gsxr's are right behind them...but the Busa, Zx12 and 10 run the track for now :) I don't know anything about the twistys..

Whats the best 1/8 you've been on your bike so far? Henry went a 6.31 @ 116.9 on his 10 Thursday night...He missed 4th gear with the new sprockets on it.

6.31 is damn good!
I have three 6.2's -6.27, 6.28 and a 6.29 all at 117- 118. 15t and lowered, stock pipe. I did the 6.28 Friday night at Denton. I have numerous 6.3's Thats where it likes to stay for the most part, 6.32-6.40.
