Tell me about the Cardinal Four (crotchies)

#1 Unread post by Heimdall Einherjar »

What are the defining characteristics of the main four liter bikes, the GSXR-1000, the ZX-10, the R1, and the CBR-1000?

I'm sure there's someone who's had the chance to ride all four and would be able to say what the ideal rider is for each...

Sounds like the gixxer would be the clear choice were it not so butt ugly.

Personally I'm partial to the Yamaha or the Kawasaki as far as looks go, and the Kawa has the most horsepower.

...

But whom am I kidding?
Ducatis beat them all.

Honestly, how many different topics are you going to make?

This is exactly the reason I made The Thread of All Threads: viewtopic.php?t=10572

Because of all these simple questions that keep coming up, that don't require their own topic. All these threads you keep making (like 1 a day) are just crowding the forum, and making it hard to find useful or interesting topics.

I think he's just trying to make up for calling 1/2 the board population wiggers, posers, or fakes...
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
