I can tell you that the busa has about the same comfort as a Kat...maybe just a bit more of a sporty posture when riding it. Of course you could get risers for the bars, custom seats, hard bags, etc. I've heard that the ZX-14 is a tad more comfortable but I think at that point, comfort is very subjective. I don't know that I would want to take either cross country.

Having owned a Busa for five years, a'14 for 6, and ridden a Connie for several weeks, I can honestly agree that it's about assessing your personal riding priorities. Assess what is important to you then review the three in relation to that. For me, it was more of a gut thing. I don't give a rats ass which is faster and all that jazz. They're all ridiculously capable performance-wise. Therefore, I just rode them and went with the one that spoke to me.=USAF= Retired

I read this article a few months back when I was thinking about going with a big sport touring bike. Maybe it will help in your decision- http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/115/65...omparison.aspxExtra life.

I have zero interest in a vfr.
ATM it is between the two kawi's. basically whether I want more of the comfort side or the raw power.
When I get some free time I'll give both another test drive and make a decision.

If you wanna chew up miles for serious, go Connie.
If you think you might wanna maybe chew up miles some day, go ZX.-Steve

I've owned a busa and ridden the 14 a bit...the busa has much more seat to it...but you said in your original post "coast to coast" in which case I'd say NEITHER the busa nor the 14.
Someone on here mentioned the bandit...I also owned one of those and they are plenty fast, can be had for the price of a katana, and very very comfortable, especially after I added ROX bar risers and custom seat.
In my opinion, even though the busa and 14 are called "sport touring" I don't think they're as friendly for long distance rifding as the concourse or banditprevious rides
