    Gixer riders do seem to go on a bit don't they, just over compensating I guess. Although I do kinda like the front end of the current gixer, but then they have to spend a fair bit of time making the front look good coz thats the part ya see when ya look into your rearviews (aka suziviews), another reason why the 05 has the worest looking rear of current litres, no one ever has to ride behind it for long.

    Being in the auto industry I received a rag the other day with a break-down of new bike sales. Suzuki head and shoulders above the rest, from memory the GN250 was #1 and the GSXR1000K5 was #2. If anyone is interested I could be more specific.

    This poll is bias'd.

    And, how come some people have voted for all the makes ?

    You sure you're Italian ??

    I just figured you would of spelt MV Agusta correctly that's all

    Don't worry, it seems a few of the dealers in NZ can't manage it either.

    "Other exotics". That makes my BSA Bantam an "exotic'. WHo would ever have thought it .

    Maybe they were impressed by the shear power and reliability of the bantam. As compared to say a ducati

    Why no Guzzi? Should be at top of list. And you live in Italy.
