True.

It's very tough to distinguish this:

the new r1 is a redesign, and Yamaha is best at keeping them seperate. The gsxr and cbr are very close to the same.

As I said 3 times now, ive got no interest in a 600cc engine in a sportbike.

GSXR's look very similar.

The Honda's have less similarities than the Yammies.

I never debated your interest in a 600cc bike. I do find your interest in this thread ironic though.

Okay, the Japs have gone a long way "recently" to distinguish the different displacement bikes BUT it's wasn't that long ago when you could literally take body parts off a GSXR 600 and put them on either a 750 or a 1000. For those who claim Yamaha is somehow "better" at this I give you the Thundercat and the Thunderace.... Oh and the CBR1000 and the new CBR600 are quite similar...

Welcome to the thread, Tigger.

Compelling argument.

You're about 3 pages late.
