Just was wondering....

Hi, I just was wondering about the sportbike arena.

How is the power delivery different among the following sportbikes:

- Honda CBR1000RR (2008 or later)

- Suzuki GSXR-750/1000

- Yamaha R1 (cross-plane)

- Kawasaki ZX-10R

- BMW S1000RR

Just am wondering.

Thanks.

but can you use all of it. can you make use of all the extra power on the street? thats what im getting at. im not arguing just asking if the extra money for all the ponies is worth not being able to use them properly.

I've ridden the new R1 and the BMW S1000RR on the track, and I'd choose the S1000RR because it's much easier to control at low speed than the R1. I think the excellent low speed ride-ability makes it a much better street candidate. They both have smooth power delivery once you get going.

Use them properly? I think it is difficult to use the power of any sportbike properly on the street. Definitely not legally.

I'm not into top speed anymore. 150mph was my fastest and I don't plan on doing it again. I'm just looking for what can get me to 65mph the quickest. :D
