Not that I can afford one at the moment, but my next bike will be one of these.
I quite fancy a ZX10R (in green of course) at the moment. I would then have to treat myself to some matching green leathers as well!

No Black is the ZX10 to go for. Was planning to get one this year but change of job and pay cut seen that idea go up in smoke.

Though I must admit I still have to have a test ride on a R1, the new blade ain't good size wise for me - I can't get comfy on it.

I think my money would go on an R1. Not too keen on te 'blade and the gixxer strikes me as a bit dated. The ZX-10R would be my choice for a track bike.

All of the 2004 litre bikes would be more bike than I need (or can afford), but I would go for the R1 given the choice, but would have to change the cans at the first opportunity.

I have an R1, hence the name! Mr Pants has no cacking!

I say the R1 for me, although I do feel they have stripped a little too much faring off for my liking.

On looks/comfort I'd take the R1

On performance I'd take the Fireblade

To probably kill myself on I'd take the ZX10R

To behave like a silly bugger i'd tale the Gixxer

Oh, but to have the choice in the first place, that's the nicest thought of all!!! Praying

On Looks I choose the R1, but I know nothing about performance.

Hmmm, to be host I wouldn't want a 1000cc bike, if I had the money for the bike and insurance, I would go for either a ZZR1200, GSX1300R Hayabusa or a Honda Blackbird.

But alas I don't so I have a ZZR600.

Though If I really had to choose I'd stick with Suzuki and go for the Gixxer Thou. Smile

Sweet. On there site they have one, 5k on the clocks, 18 grand. Frankly for a turbo busa, cream of superbikes, beat i imagine ANY supercar of the mark and standing quarter. For 18 grand. Compare that to your average zonda... 400k werent it.
