Anyone can go "fast" on a 240 horsepower bike that weighs 80 lbs less than your Gixxer 750...but can you control the bike and handle it skillfully? That's a different story. There's a difference between being fast and being skilled. If you're fast you can probably go speedily in a straight line. If you're a skilled rider more than likely you will be fast all around.

I personally like the YZR-M1. Personally though I don't want to see a bunch of squids on 200+ horsepower rockets. They're dangerous enough without that much power:weight ratio!
2000 Kawasaki Ninja EX500R (Sold)
2006 Suzuki SV650S (Stolen 4/08, recovered 12/08, sold 3/09)
2004 Suzuki SV650S (Sold)

Being bikeless SUCKS!!!

when i said fast, i meant it in it's truest form. i heard that the RC211V is so good that it can help even amatuers to get faster lap times.

anyway... no point in arguing since it's not like i'll ever ride one to test it 1st hand. im just dreaming of it. :laughing:
