Most of those on 'busas here drag race.

Here in columbus the GSX-R had always been the most "seen" on the road. As of 2006/7 though, i've seen a noticable slide to alot of people riding the new gen R6.

NOW they are, now that all of the other manufacturers have made their bikes increasingly uglier. I mean come on, the new R1 is fugly, the zx10 is horrid, and the CBR1k looks like it was punched in the face. The zx-6 looks like its big brother, and the CBR6 is drawnout, overused, and boring. Now the R6 is fine imo.
But i guess if you are in it for the right reasons... looks shouldnt matter, only performance. But whatever.....
