The CBR900 started the big power 600 chassis thing and held the title for years, then the R1 and GSXR always one upping it for power back and forth since about 97, then Kawi finally does away with the ZX9 and gets in the game, but the new CBR has turned quite a few heads. Roadracing World ran one to top finishes in a stock lightly modded form, all the other rags I have read (and I read a bunch) say it is heads and shoulders above the RR it replaces. I feel it would run away with any comparo save for the cross plane engine debuting this year...Once again my opinion and my preference. But I insist I am open minded about things and not in the least brand loyal...

cmon now, i know you read FB and they have put the zx10 against the blade many times this year and they always call it honda for street and kwacker for track. Hell, just reading fagan's impressions on the kaw were enough to get me waNting one in my garage
