i do reiterate that my bike is the best, at least for another year. :laughing:

but all the others Loonette, nope, i don't think that im the best at those. im just a noob.

also, sorry about that. i'll never post a very long quote like that again.

Because you've ridden all the other bikes, right? So you can say that yours is the best /rolleyes.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I never put much stock in magazine tests. All they normally test with sportbikes is their track performance which is meaningless off the track.

Just remember even on the track the rider is about 90% of the equation in terms of lap times. For all intents and purposes all those super sport bikes are pretty much equal

if you read the whole thing, they tested in the tracks, twisties, freeway and streets. but yeah, the majority of the article was about the tracks.

yes I did read the article.

doesn't do much for me because I have no plans on getting a 1000cc super sport.

I've never been brand loyal for the most part. I like the honda that I own. there are also suzukis, yamahas, and kawasakis that I like too.

You know, I didn't even care myself that you posted that long post. It was that two posts by others that decided to copy it in their post. WAY TOO LONG. But you know, we all know you love your bike. You don't need to prove that point. You know what - I think my bike is the best, and I could print several pages, that you would not agree with - I'm sure. You are not alone, there are many Gixxer lovers. You don't have to show us how cool your bikes is - we get it.
