I found the gixxer by far the most comfortable for me dodgy neck. The honda felt a bit heavy but very confidence inspiring [have to admit the power thing was not noticed.

On my brief ride of the K6 1000 I found the opposite as regards comfort. I wasn't looking for the best track-day bike (yes - I think that would have been the Gixxer) - I needed a bike for everyday use that could also go OK on the track. I found the Blade more comfortable and much easier to ride in traffic. I also got the impression that the build quality on the Honda was better. The R1 I rode was quick, but there was nothing below about 6k rpm and it also fried the bottom of my legs.

In the end its personal choice........so if your a homosexual the honda is for you

Absolutely. Pity Honda don't do a salmon pink and baby blue colour scheme to match the sexuality of their riders.

*shakes head* your a worrying man my freind. 916 iconic. 999 butt-ugly compared to 916. 1098, who the hell you think your kidding? 916 in drag!!
Now the MV.............

The MV is beautiful, but thats because the guy who designed the 916 designed the MV

The 999 has grown on me, I thought it was gross when it came out, the 1098 is great tho', a return to the looks of the 916 like you say

But what was he thinking when he stuck that god awful headlight on the MV? The rest of the bike is stunning - a work of design beauty - but the front end looks like it was hashed together by a retarded five year-old.

[QUOTE=The_Dover;1011570]next year when you trade up to a fuckin mobility scooter and a pension book it will be the "next big thing"

"I've had all of those bikes AND an RSVR Factory with Ohlins Underpants but nothing, and I mean nothing never made or ever to be made, will be faster or better handling or more comfortable than mah new mobility scooter, it's just the bestest."

Your efforts are getting alittle better Dover 1/2 a clap

[imdying]

'Still' king implies that it once was king...

[The_Dover]

he's mistaken.

He meant "Queen". The Green Queen.

Getting bent over by gixxers the world over.

The 04 10 is a standout and probably my favourite litre.
That bike is zero jabs, nada footwork and gives no warnings...a knockout uppercut that you wont see coming...

Id be keen to ride the K7. I've read Zook are trying to pull some of the hypersport brigade into buying it...
