The CBR is a close second as it sets a new standard for liter bikes, the GSXR is the least desirable for me from a looks and ownership level. The Kawi only inspires a middle of the road kind of 3rd place since it looks identical to its little Bro...But it finishes above the GSXR for me cause it comes in green!
Well I do agree on most all points and that's why I went with the R1/R6...they were my preference and had the highest lust factor as far as Japanese bikes.

I do like the Ducati 1098 but didn't want to spend the $$.

I just said that the performance is so close that on the street where most all of my riding is done and with my abilities...one doesn't really stand out over the other in performance.

My R1 rocks and I think it looks awesome as well.

I've owned Yamaha...Honda and Kawasaki. I admit I've never owned a Suzuki but have ridden them. I did consider the GSXR 750 but went with the R1.
