    1000 Shoot out

    Well just brought the new Two Wheels mag with the 1000cc shoot out
    between the GSXR / ZX / R1 / MV / CBR
    Well no guessing what Won is there : GSXR K5 1000 : . They tell you that in the first line of the write up . But still bloody good read on all 5 bikes . The MV1000 was very close to the GSXR & made the most HP & torque of all the Bikes not to bad pitty it cost so much . Go have a read if you are into a good run down on these Excellent Litre bikes

    I wonder if Juan is going to upgrade his MV.

    Woh! And I always thought the MV was lacking in power?! Stupid me!

    That just makes me want one even more, to look at.

    Damn

    I was all ready to say "yeah, but what does it look like... (the gixxer)" BUT, the MV is rather an attractive crotch companion

    Ok, so the only bike I would trade up to, in sports bike terms, is the MV, Duc 999s or r or the aprilia factory

    I've seen pictures, and I've seen how "plain" Gixxers are in the past. Now listen, I'm talking looks alone... Did you not know I'm a poser!

    The new gixxer is verrrry nice in the flesh.

    But a little small. People of more fuller proportions like you and me StoneChucker - we'd just look silly on them...

    However, I was very surprised by how good that odd-looking muffler actually looks in the flesh.

    The promotional pictures tended to really make it look large and ungainly, when it looks quite svelte and stylish...

    Anyway, its too small, too fast, and the suspension is bloody harsh.

    And if I had $22,000 it would be sitting in my gargre. I wouldn't care that it looks like a 400...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
