    2005 Open Supersport Shootout

    Well motorcycle Online http://www.motorcycle.com have done their annual 1000cc shootout.
    Looks like the 05 GSXR is the new King!
    "On the street the wildly fun GSX-R1000 simply blew the doors off of the competition. "If you can get past your fear," says Sean, looking very analytical after turning a blistering 2:03 on the big Suzuki, "the Suzuki does everything as well as the other bikes, and throws in significantly more motor to boot. If you have aspirations of winning club races the GSX-R is it -- both in production and modified because it's the best platform start with. I'd bet a buck that a stock GSX-R is fast enough to win, even in the modified classes."

    Yes, MOFOs, the 2005 Suzuki GSX-R1000 is the most fun package that terrifying power comes in. Notice that even if we had weighted the track and street totals 50/50 (instead of 33/66) the GSX-R would have still won the shootout going away. So the undisputed winner of the MO 2005 open class shootout is the Suzuki GSX-R1000. Hail to the king!"

    So there ya go!

    Not surprised at all with that result. So what bikes was the "terrifying power" machine up against? (too lazy to search for/read the article)
