Putty Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 The 06 liter comparison is not out yet...There was one floating around the interweb a month or so ago, but I have no idea where it is now. However....S U Z U K I GSX-R1000.....................KING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemosley01 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I assume you have experience riding? Liter bikes are not for newbies. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com and http://www.sportrider.com http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/ProductReview.aspx http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/BikeTest_Control.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Out towards newark and patalaska. i havent been out on a motorcycle for a while i bike out there(pedal and spandex...) and i always keep an eye out for any turns that would be more invigorating taken 70mph faster than what im doing. its kinda like walking the track for me, getting a feel for the road.

nurkvinny Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 yammys, suzies and kawies? -Brian I question whether anyone calling liter bikes 'yammys', 'suzies', or 'kawies' should ever ride one. Of course that is meant with a fair amount of jab-to-the-side, but come on man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 The latest issue of RoadRacing World has a comparison with all the 06 Liter bikes. ZX-10 has the motor this year but the suspension is still not up to par with the Suzuki. GSXR-1000 is still KING for the best all around bike! The HONDA was a huge improvement but just not quite what it needed to come out on top. However depending on your riding experience, they are ALL pretty equal.

Sturg1647545502 Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 ill check that out. that was one of the thing i wanted to avoid...flipping though the archives of cycleworlds, and motorcyclists at the local library and yea i really cant defend that now that i read it. started with suzie-uki naturaly progressed to kawi and then snowballed out of control into yammy. and you cant add an "i" or a "y" to honda..thank god... end up with a hyundai?

lemosley01 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 However depending on your riding experience, they are ALL pretty equal. Yeah...depending on if you are Matt Mladin or one of the Hayden brothers. You pretty much can't go wrong no matter what you choose. It really is going to come down to what looks nicest and what feels best (and price, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customhillbilly Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 If you decide on an R1, I have one for sale. It's clean as hell and I'm only asking 5,500. PM me if interested and I can send some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
