Cheers - if only I had the cash for a weekend toy ...

Cheers, interesting reading.

Cheers for that, EJT.

So ... if you want a track bike, buy the Zooki. If you want a street litre-bike, buy the Honda.

Still, I can't imagine this will stop the Zooki fanboys crowing.

:first: Suzuki GSXR-1000 K7
The Gixxer Thou is still the bike to beat on the track and due to its overall bad-assedness takes top honors in our Superbike Smackdown once again.

:second: Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2007
The CBR1000RR's practicality and versatility almost took top honors in our Smackdown. It did win over three of our test riders when it came time to choose what mount they would pick if it was their money on the line.

:third: Yamaha YZF-R1 2007
The tech-forward Yamaha R1 is at home on the track, but in real-world street conditions it lags behind.

Finally Kawasaki ZX-10R 2007
But last place for the Ninja isn't fair you say. Yeah, well it's a mean, unfair, competitive world out there, just watch Discovery Channel sometime.

Why does Suzuki always win? :crybaby: :spanking:

Does it make any difference in the real world? Anyone owned two or three of the makes and agreed with these types of "shootout" test results? :spudwave:
