Idk, my list of (reasonable) choices is as follows:
Honda (great reliability, overall balance, etc.)
Yamaha (K, so I dont ride track, but I'd like to feel like it)
Kawi (the weight and bulk of the zx's is no go for me, hence why below yama)
Daytona (heard great things bout them)
(never) gixxer (maybe) busa (prolly not though)

Ok, for the record, I forgot to clarify this
-I saw the bike on craigs list for 3k
-shot an email with possible trade no more than an hour ago
-hence no I haven't seen it running or w/e, if they accepted, I would do that stuff before even thinking about letting them near my bike, don't worry, I've been through the bike buying experience, I'm not a noob like that

Here's the actual add for those who want to self inspect: http://raleigh.craigslist.org/mcy/877513318.html
As far as I can tell, it seems pretty legit. I went through a LOT of scam adds while looking for a bike and can spot those from a mile away now, even the good ones. DOESNT mean theyre not keeping info back about possible problems, but that (again) can be determined if a deal develops

Buyer beware. I would invest in an inspection from a mechanic you trust. The exhaust is all blued...likelybeen running really rich. And what else?
edit: maybe check it over closely to see if stuff has been safety wired(ex track bike).
