which is your favourite 1 litre jap bike out at the moment

Post by Rob636 »

Just something i pondering, i was going to go 1 litre earlier this year but decided not to, i doubt i go 1 litre next year either, as the 636 is plentyof enjoyment, but but but its what the new 1 litres have,

the Suzuki with its women like curves and probably most smooth power band of the group
the kwak with its formidable looks and the most brutal engine of the group
the yamaha R1 with its strong lines, agressive looks and fly by wire technology, and its usuall no power in the low revs and warp factor 9 and some in the top revs
the honda with its erm well plainish looks not really agressive looking but on the plus side a forgiving one litre engine, a sound choice for the faint of heart when it comes to this 1 litre line up

all in all the R1 has it on looks for me, im totally in luv with the black model, the kwak id just own for sheer power, but yet it holds a beauty of its own, i remember just salivating over a black model back in 2006, and in that same year got to test ride one and thing handled better than the zx6r at low speed ( steering dampner ) and had a luvly deep sound when pulling away
i cant coment on the suzuki it looks nice in black but i dont know the design of the headlamp,
and the Blade oh toad what an ugly f-cking thing honda has made, it seriously looks toad compared to its 90's carbed brothers,

right now id pick the ZX10R as i have ridden one and was well impressed so it gets my vote,

buy it next year, its how i bought my 636 buy in february, and buy a pre reg bike, so it will be a 2007, i remember when i nearly bought a ZX10R this way back at the start of this year, just over 6k with a grands worth of akropovic exhaust fitted thrown on, if i get the deposit money together ( lol already spent 3000 pound on 2 holidays this year cyprus in 2 weeks egypt in december ) damn theres go money for a 10R, so yeah i reckon if i can save a couple of grand on the side i may consider one, but it have to be black lol,

The trouble with having an open mind, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
