Yes of course, a few corners don't hurt either.

Which reminds me it's been a while since I did the Coro Loop

Every RR I have raced in a straight line (5+) has been gained upon in varying amounts by my ZXR 250 C model.. it has another 15% more torque on paper (and lower weight..) anyway, other riders comparing both bikes have noted it has slightly better pick up also. It goes off the clock at 190 indicated in real life, dyno'd to 204 (dyno speed). Real speeds are probably around 180kmh max for both the zxr and the cbr.

Speed wise on the track you won't really notice a difference but I feel the zxr has the slightly better suspension setup and handles a tad better (USD fully adjustable forks for your riding style etc). Reliability wise the CBR is definately tops and i'd highly reccomend it over a ZXR if you want to do really high km's and not touch a thing.
Just watch the friggen low pegs on the cbr, easy to feel like the man when you scrape them, ZXR's are a little higher but not much more out of the way either, get some rearsets if you want to do racing. Texmo alerted me to a manufacturer of rearsets for the zx2r's that i'll be following up on.

Looks wise most people prefer the zx2r, especially mine

edit: Coerce makes rearsets for the zx2r, not sure about cbr but they should be there. Ebay yeilds nothing apart from $350US zx4r ones which should fit though.
