Hahahaha, it's all in the lips.

How many of you have ridden the 675?? It's a fucking boring thing....

Gixxer750 all the way!!!!!

Categorise the bikes.... it's rare that a person will look at Boulevard or a CBR1000RR while deciding to buy only one bike.

So long as the zit is 'happy' that's all that counts.

OK then, next time we meet, you are going to take it for a ride. Only then will you appreciate the full extent of my objectivity.

Trumpet 675=beautiful

KTM=most relevant in NZ back roads...

Can I have both please?

Only one bike on the list of options has truly broken the barriers the rest are mostly anoher model slightly better than the previous, mostly in the same mould.
The ZX14 is New and from the start is a brilliant sports bike as well as a hyper tourer, it has out of the box enabled HP unfound in other new bikes
It is a brilliant handling bike, Fast as hell and comfortable, it caters for everything in one, and its a new bike model.
The others are yeah sure great bikes, but nothing new here!!

ZX14 Without a doubt

**The_Dover** · 10th January 2007, 21:07

fuck off.

GSXR1000 every year.

Funny, all the bike mags reckon it's a disappointment with insufficient bottom end.

Get real. I've ridden the 675. I don't think I'd ever get sick of that induction roar.

The gixxer is a nice bike but its not really that different to the previous one. Whereas I believe the 675 completely moved the bar for a middleweight sprotsbike.

Sorry mate, you don't know what the fuck you're on about.

675 induction roar? nothing on the 750 on a wide open throttle

750K5 and 750K6 not much different? they're a fucking world apart.

yes, I've ridden all three.
