    Ricardo you have two different themes there, hard to vote:dontknow:

    it all depends on what you want , and take no offense to this.
    :D

    The R1, the GSXR and the ZX are hardcore race bikes, especially here lately.

    The R1 is quick and nimble, good feedback on the suspension, but not as powerful as the others.

    the ZX is just a monster on power! TONS of it! but its handling is just not on par, and a tad heavier feeling in the turns.

    the GSXR is killer all the way around, light feeling, great suspension, and super power that is very very linear.

    But now are ya wantin to hit the curves hard? Just cruise around and look pretty and do wheelies?
    Or jsut country afternoons?

    If you are hitting the curves any of the above will do, the GSXR si the most forgiving and holds it value the best.

    But if ya want to ride more than 100 miles at a time you have no choice but the busa.

    But its a pig and curves scare it:D

    Cool...Thanks Stink...I didn't add the Busa cause I assumed the ZX-14 was on top as far as power goes...Wish I could add it to the poll but I can't. Keep it coming...

    BTW I want it all, speed, curves and comfort. After all I own a truck that fits that profile...:D :D :D

    I know it might not be possible though...

    I would seriously look at the ZX then, it actually has real decent street riding.

    the GSXR and the R1, the rear sets are pretty radical.

    Plus with the ZX-10 you will have enough power to stand toe to toe with the ZX-14 , just not above 170:p

    Kawasaki has thoroughly revised the engine and chassis of its ZX-10R for 2008. The 998cc Inline Four has been retuned for increased high-rpm performance with the addition of oval-shaped 43mm throttle bodies, a second set of fuel injectors, a larger air box and a host of internal engine changes. The additional power is kept in line by a new ignition system that features “torque management,â€￾a.k.a. traction control, which monitors throttle position, gear position and rate of RPM change and adjusts the ignition timing to tame “sudden unwanted RPM spikes.â€￾

    The Ninja’s twin-spar aluminum frame and swingarm have been revised to enhance rigidity and feedback. A new subframe and seat provide a new riding position and better rider feel. The aluminum alloy wheels have been made lighter and stronger, and front brake rotors have grown to 310mm. Redesigned bodywork and mirrors with integrated turn signals complete the $11,549 package.

    With all the reading Stinker does on trucks and motorcycles...one might be well advised to spend some time around Joanne's back porch, and drop a few compliments on her cooking and intelligence...

    And reference his Fun Financing information...

    I think most of the grasshoppers here would be well advised to never finance a vehicle. Period. Sorry but that is a fact of life...buy what you can afford with savings. If you want the new Viper save the money...30 years from now the interest you pay on vehicles no matter how low, (other than Zero) if saved and invested conservatively, will enable you to retire ten years early...

    Compounding is magic...but to get the impact of compounding you have to have funds to invest...compute the future value of the interest you have paid for the most recent vehicle you have purchased at say 8% (and the average over the past 60 years in the stock market is 12%) annually in 30 years...you will drop your teeth!

    I know, dumb...but someone had to say it.

    If you are in SoCal I would recommend Bigg's for any Harley purchases. You won't be able to beat their prices, let me know if you decide to do that, I know some folks there.
