So before anyone else continues to slag off the 2005 CBR1000RR it would be helpfull to look at all the facts and in fact not believe all that is published as the CBR racing in the superbike racing is appartently the same as can be purchased in the local Honda dealerships. Its cool to prefer one over the other, but those saying the Suzuki is better need to read the true facts before getting rather opinionated as it just shows that some are wrong here

A man convinced against his will, is unconvinced still

The one conclusion I drew from PB article was that generally speaking the Japper bikes are that similar that it really comes down to personal preference. But of course the Honda is always better!

That article did not inspire one to go out and spend your fortune on the MV Agusta though did it MD?

Exactly Stevo. Their impression of the MV flys in the face of most views but as they said maybe they got a lemon. I've had the pleasure of a long ride on the MV1000 and seat of the pants it's got more get up and go than the Honda (and R1 & ZX10 I'd say) firmer seat, puts you in more of a racer position and too firm suspension for my liking but that's what the adjustments are for so I'm sceptical of all mag reviews- especially FB who seem to rubbish everything they get on, prats (I stopped buying FB because of their negative attitudes).
Buy what you like and like what you buy (hey, that sounds profound, can I get a patent on it?) MD
ps- the MV owner's ridden a few Gixxers and thinks they rock, so there, that puts the universe back into balance

betti - some advice from one pom to another - don't waste your time, get sky, it's just as shite but at least you can get the watch the odd (odd as in occasional not weird) bit of soft porn
