BMW S1000RR > Gixxer 1000

Riding up the ramp and dyno readouts are all nice and all, but last I checked these bikes are suppose to be "superbikes". Soon enough we'll see how they fare in WSBK again. Maybe BMW can come up with another excuse for finishing near last.

I'm sure that the excuses will be similar to why the "Best Bike in the World" CBR1000RR can't do shit in any race series or why the supposedly spectacular MV Agusta F1000 isn't competitive. Apparently, it isn't always the best bike that wins the races/championship...

I'll give you Isle of Man but you will have to concede that the fastest guy was out because of a practice crash and he was riding a what?...besides, you know as well as I do that you could put the top 5 guys on any 1000cc bike and they would still be top 5 guys. As far as BSB and WSB...well, show me the money! Almost 200 points off of the champion isn't exactly "up front" imho. Not to mention Rea's 5th place is of course decent but what I am saying here is that the BIKE has been so heavily hyped.
