Default Cbr1100 or zx10

I was going to get the kawi. Now, after seeing the cbr not sure which one would be better. Which one is faster. The cbr is a bit cheaper. Zx10- ,full achropovic exhaust,power commander,chrome rims,race levers steering damptner,undertail kit,led,shift indicater light,front and back sprokets,chain,front and back tires,windscreen,grips,leather seat,race emisions,built in heater cord,aluminum pegs,carbon fiber mirrors,carbon fiber under fender,spike bolts on windshield,sidemount liscence platemount,frame sliders,etc.10,000 something miles

Cbr- Less than 15K miles Akrapovik racing exhaust Two-flat slideracing carbsNew front tire last year, Rear tire new in 2010 Chrome front and rear wheels Custom Chrome swing-arm stretched 8" Drag Bike Rated Chain.

Both bikes are in perfect shape. Can't find to much comparing these. My last bike,wasa cbr 954. What are sone benifits if each. Which one would be a better buy?

Supersport vs. sport-tourer = apples/oranges. BUT . . . the flatslides on the Bird would be a deal breaker for me. I had the chance to pick some up dirt cheap but passed because by all accounts they do not work well at all for normal street riding. They also have no choke; I rode my XX with the choke accidentally disconnected, in cool weather, and one day was quite enough. A carbed XX will fire up instantly in subzero temps with the choke, without it, better have a spare battery ready. That plus the uber-lame chrome wheels and stretched swinger make that particular Bird good for drag racing and not much else.

In this case-ZX10 no contest.Same reasons as above,except BMW gs riders or for that matter BMW riders are not at all like XX riders.
Plus if you decide to sell,the older,bad decision in modifications CBR will be 10x harder to sell.

ZX-10R riders are crazy. I've never met a single one that doesn't have a screw loose. That being said, take the 10r.
