    Its official GSXRs are the bizzo

    Fast bikes mag SBOTY (sports bike of the year) shootout. A test between all bikes regardless of CC or make.

    1st GSXR 750
    2nd GSXR 1000
    3rd ZX636 (Nice one MD)
    4th GSXR600

    3 GSXRs in the top 4. Good to see a oldish ZX636 still doing the business.

    Now lets see if this thread turns into a I'm much faster than you because you're gay cos you ride a HondaKawasakiYamahaDucati thread.
    Superdukes. Serving up shame to sportsbikes since ages ago.

    At least the proper one won and not the compensating for lack of skill with grunt bike.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    I find the funni thing is with these tests is that they really don't find the really weaknesses in bikes like you may think they do...when I brought my K5 750....it turned out to be nothing like the reviews of it...

    Yay GSXR750!

    But yeah, I agree with Cowpoos; bike mags are a bit weird. I've read at least two writeups of the RVF400 and just gone 'no, wtf?! Is that the same bike?'. No one ever mentioned of the weird engine behavior below 7000 rpm (But everyone on 400greybike knows it is there, people have posted 'fixes').

    Mind you, I agree with pretty much everything Performance Bikes said about the GSXR750. But the writer didn't mention (small) snatch in going from completely closed to slightly open throttle, instead made the fueling out to be completely flawless (They devoted a paragraph to it) instead of so close to flawless it doesn't really matter.

    I am acheing for a track day on the bloody thing.

    750 is the perfect size, a bit of torque from the 1000, a bit of handling and nimble from the 600!
