    i know that such reviews should be taken with a grain of salt, but several of th ones I read for the 2008 model year put the cbr on top overall out of the japanese 'Big Four'

    I read the same. They're still boring to ride I felt, and just don't feel as fast.

    Test ride a K5/6 thou I reckon. The K4 is no reflection on how good the bike is.

    ZX10s are exciting I'm told. Only ridden one very short distance, so can't really comment.

    Not in a straight line it bloody didn't...Once I got the Gixxer to calm down on corner exit at least.

    Still..........the Honda had a faster laptime my Hutt dwelling friend heehee.

    In all honesty, now I have an 06 GSXR1000 I don't really notice much difference between the brands, with the wheelbase set longer on the Gixser it handles very similar to the Honda too. All the modern thou's are fun if geared right.

    I have ridden the K5 a short distance, a guy at my old work had one. definitely a great bike. that said, I never bought the K4 because I thought it was awesome or anything, I bought it as a cheap project, I never really cared about it. Having said that, it turned out to be a fantastic bike and it defintely grew on me, so I dont think the new owner will be disappointed with it at all
