I always heard the hayabusa was the fastest in top speed but the GSXR1000 was quicker in the 1/4 mile, is this true?

also the R1 backseat does suck, but nothing like the 600RR back seat, I swear all it is is a vinyl covered plastic seat, the R1 at least has some padding. I like my seat though, not real soft like a gixxer but it is pretty nice top sit on.

The new Gix 1k is supposed to be only marginally heavier than the 600, so I'm sure it has some nice acceleration. The Hayabusa, while very aerodynamic, powerful, etc.... is still somewhat sport-tourer in there somewhere... I mean, seriously.... it has a REAL back seat on it (when you replace the cowl) How many "purebred" supersports have that?

It's not as attractive, IMHO, but I only really like a few Italian bikes... most of them are FUGLY with a fat beeotch on top. There are a few attractive Aprilias, but Ducs are vomitous on the whole... I dunno... A bike needs to look good besides go fast... and not to mention be fun in the twisties... Any moron can go fast in a straight line.

Come on, not that attractive! On the whole I've gotta say that Italian bikes are way better looking than the average jap bike. Especially Ducati's, the 916 is by far the most recognizeable sportbike ever (or so says every mag that has written about them) They are all different and unique designs that dont need flashy paint and stickers like most jap bikes. And fun in the twisties? There's no way that any jap bike can out handel any MV Agusta, or any of the Ducati Superbikes. Thats what their built for, thats what people buy them for, unique looks, handeling, and history. Your average Italian bike (minus the MV's) have much less hp than their similar displacement jap bikes, they're all handeling.

Re: Re: Re: this is the fastest motorcycle in the world???

The 916 and the F4 are the most beautiful motorcycles ever made as far as most people are concerned. Not only that but they are considered some of the best handling bikes too. They were not designed with outright top speed in mind. Now that the F4 Tamburini has been unveiled there shouldn't be any more jokes/complaints about italian bikes being slow.

I personally like some from every where. I liked the 998 but can't stand the 999. I like RSV milles and the mondial piega as well. Most yamahas, I like, and I don't really care for any other jap bikes. Just my

my favorite jap bike as far as looks is the 04 R1. I like the looks of some italian bikes just as much, its just a different look.

This BS "edgy" shit needs to be done and over with SOON. I liked that whole futuristic crap like 2 years ago in the Aprilia Futura.... Now EVERYONE and their damn Grandmother has some big, bad, edgy hunk of shyte. It makes me ill. I hate it. What's with the lower fairings covering the front of the rear wheels??? Even Honduh did it and it looks GROSS. It looks like someone forgot to cut the lower fairing at the back. Give me flowing lines, give me sexy curves... forget this "I am pretending to be in 2099" bullshyte.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think Ducati's are some of the most ugly bikes out there. And I hope you don't think any stock Italian bike can keep up with a gsx750r on the track or off (if both riders are same level). When you are talking about supersport bikes there is a big difference, they are many more Ducati tuners than jap bike tuners so ofcourse odds are that they will have higher rankings. But then how does Honda fit in?

Do you like Harleys? because you would be buying one for the near exact same reason you would by a Italian bike. And Ducati's handling was just a myth, everybody thought that the single-sided swing arm was a big part of the handling abilities, yet Ducati has now adopted a regular swingarm for its sportsbikes, wonder why.

Re: this is the fastest motorcycle in the world???

man R1 im gonna have to agree with your Civic comment, i was sitting at a light the other day in my Mercedes SL500 and this little punk drives up in a civic with all his decales and stickers and big pipes, anyways he starts reving his engine and i start reving my engine, and he looks at me like he wants to race, so it turns green, i give it a little gas and im 10 miles in front of him sitting at the next light lol, just toally smoked him with jsut a little bit of gas, i swear you should have seen the look on his face, it was like man that`s a fast car, or my interputation of what i would have said if i were him, Man he`s got a nice car and i got this little piece of shit with stickers on the side, it was jsut the siliest thing lol a 46 year old beats a 19 year old lol
