Are 1000cc sports bikes irrelevant? - YouTube

yea i actually watched that video a while back... but my problem is i know i want a 1000cc bike but i cant decide between a cbr or a gixxer... both are great bikes as hondaa has better life i think i might turn towards it more in favor than the gixxer which is more powerful... besides whichever bike i decide to get im going to gear it down anyways... still trying to determine which one for sure.. just kinda interested in what you guys may think between the two..

In general, in Japan, people think Honda is better than Suzuki

I would go for what is the better deal. You can always but performance parts for more power, different rearsets/seats for comfort and et cetera. What year models you looking for 2012? 2011 closeouts, if you can find one, but still new. Used?

The New GSXR thou has made some good changes in 2012. No left side exhaust/ single exhaust(asthetically looks cleaner) and little tid bits here (11% lighter pistons, brembo front calipers, blah, blah, blah.) But no T/C.. Traction Control like most other 1k's have from 2012. I have always like the look of GSXR's, especially the white rims with the blue and white paint scheme, but paint is paint.

Honda 1KRR for 2012 is sick, all around. The red, white and blue looks amazing and the changes they have made this year are also awesome. I have to actually do some work now, so I will go. Either way it would be an awesome buy.

I love my new CBR 1k. Still breaking it in so I have not yet pushed it hard but even at 1/2 throttle the pull this bike has is amazing.
