they are all great fun. All just about as fast as each other "on the road". Mostly it comes down to the rider. Sure a 600 will lose out a little on the strait bits but gain a little mid corner. So it depends how you like your eggs cooked. Grunt or revs its all great fun.
When i had my R1 a mate had a R6. Could never shake him in the tight stuff. Then he brought a NEW R1 (5 years newer than mine). But while he had better brakes, motor, chassis he found it hard to shake me. I felt comfortable on mine he felt overpowered. 80% is too fast on the road and you need to be using more than that to shake one or the other.
Hmmm considering you described yourself as a IDIOT three times in your opening I'd suggest you spend your money on a rider training course or two.
Then get a thou...............
The person who started it all - post number 1
I love thou's. But being an idiot I need more time on a smaller bike before I can be an idiot on a thou (as I found out the hard way).
The next best bike so far to me seems like a K4/K5 Gixxer750. Won't spend more than Au$10K on a bike I will crash sooner or later, with you know, me being an idiot and all that. Anything else is too expensive, the cheapest bike in this class is the K3/K4 GSXR1000 - which offers hard to resist bang for your buck.
More than 6 months away from saving up, so just sharing thoughts here.
Where's yours? Where's mine dammit! (but full fairings not half)
Once I'm out of plaster I will no longer be able to afford the bike I had originally intended, (08 CBR600RR) as while I'm on ACC this time off work is still costing me and it's coming out of my "New Bike" fund
However, while I fell in love with the CBR, after some thought it's probably not the ideal bike for me. I love sprot bikes, and enjoy hitting the twisties now and again, but I also use my bike to commute and the most enjoyable riding for me is heading off for the day 2up with the Mrs. Unfortunately, the closest thing I can find to what I want that doesn't make me wanna put a paper bag over it (meaning the bike) before riding is a Busa
Think I'm gonna settle for an 05-06 ZX636![]()

Yea, I have a fairing fetish thoughNaked or half naked bikes just don't appeal to me, the SV1000SK7 is halfway there. The GSF1250SATK8 doesn't look to bad either but is out of my new price range... also I don't really like high bars. Believe it or not I have no problems riding around all day in the fetal (sprot) position...
