Well nobody else seems to be replying so I'll go again.

1. What was/were your previous bike(s)

2. I heard that GSXR's have a bad habit of backing off whatever suspension setting you dialed in but maybe that was only for older models (this was three years ago or so)

OLD 1000cc bike 03-05 zx10

NEW 1000cc got with the honda


old zx10s are just amazing............. best bike ive EVER threw a leg over. light nimble, comfy (for a SS) and a MOOOOOOOOOONSTER

when i bought my sv1000, its all i could afford, insurance is so cheap on it.



the new honda's are amazing, some of the lightest, torquest bikes ever put out, and honda never has a bad handling sport bike.



you can find very clean low mileage zx10s for $6500..... your going to pay around $11-12k from a new 1000.



if you havent had a bike close in power to a 1000cc (zx10s put out 160hp+ stock) then i would strongly advise being extra carful, like you just started riding again.


my buddy that let me ride his zx10, told me to put it in second gear, and get up to 80mph (about 7-8k rpm if i remember right) then give it half/3 quarters throttle.

i gave it 3 quarters throttle, and it picked up the frount wheel like my bike would if i revved it all the way up and dumped the clutch hard as hell


showed me first hand how insane 1000cc 4cly bikes are

i voted r1 but i say buell FTW. cant beat their uniqueness and engineering for the street. all those bikes u listed are race bikes that are made street legal. buells are street bikes that are made to be ridden everyday on the street but still have the look of an agressive race bike. plus they are american.

Honda is heavier than Yamaha, Kawi, and SuK.
