The superbike challange is on. So I ask myself, which bike is best. The Honda CBR1000RR or the new 2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000. Now I've ridden the K5 and although awsomely quick and easy to handle found it very light and a bit to small to be comfortable on for anything longer than 30mins so I would hate to think what this new bike is going to be like with its lighter weight (172kg) and increased bhp (184). But the current CBR100RR again a very quick bike but lagging behind the new Suzuki, feels more to my liking. It may appear a bit more doscile, in my opinion, looks and handles far better even though there is only a couple of kg between them, but the 27gg difference, is it really going to sway my opinion, well the answer is very clearly no, I can ride fast, but not so fast that no one can see me, now that is just asking for trouble. So the good old Honda gets my vote. What are your thoughts on this????

The Suzuki is like a 600 in size and comfort. Sure its got more than the Honda, but you really need to be a bloody good rider to get that extra 10% it has.

The Honda doesn't feel as fast as the power delivery is more linear and smoother than the other 3. It also has higher gearing. But I would go for the (relative) comfort, stability and build quality of the Honda.
