    The six cylinder, 1100cc, 180hp 'Katana' would be something to behold!

    Thanks My first reactions

    Dig the Katana - (I don't think I've ever said that before)
    The Honda looks very unattractive.
    The FZ1 reminds me of the speed triple in style - a good thing.

    Spent some time on the KR FZ1 lately. Good bike, far more 'real world' than the R1 - but they still don't get 'interesting' till 7 grand.

    I'd recommend a test ride on a new Speed Triple and a KTM950 as comparisons. They 'work' better up to 140kph. From there the FZ smokes them, but I don't spend a whole lot of time above 140kph on the road these days.

    I think the Katana is hideous(sp), the CB looks the best and the FZ1 looks like a Beemer too much.

    Peace hath higher tests of manhood

    than battle ever knew.

    Id have to agree. I think the Katana is trying to look too retro...but fair enough to them for trying. Didnt really look at the CBR as im more into nekid styles. The Yammy looks great I reckon. More brutal than a Hornet/Bandit/SV etc.

    cool idea with the 6 cylinder watsamagic, still it's ugly and no level of hp can make up for that, imho the cbr is the best looking, although thats not saying much, they'll hopefully bring out a full faired version as at the moment it's got a similar styling to my vt lol

    The FZ1 is becoming more sports and less nekid. soon it'll just be an R1 with higher bars.

    Give me a Superduke any day.

    Like today...............................please. Someone?

    In the "volume" and "style" categories...

    Buggy thrashed me in the "speed" and "moaning" sections though

    The cliff hanger was "size" and well... the medal count says it all really.

    Wanking was the winner on the day though

    Or a Speed Triple - there isn't much difference between the way they go - KTM is lighter but S3 is much smoother and better looking.
