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

Lol, it never fails to amuse me how easy it is to make rob636 bite.

i'll have to stop, i agree the r1 looks nice but i dont like it in blue, gsx-r's have always bin fugly to me. where we differ tho i find the new blades very attractive aesthetically, same with the zx10 to some extent.

As they say beauty is in the eye of the beerholder!!

thats an excellent way of saying it

For me, the R1.

Since I have no desire to own any of them, and have never ridden any of them, it's purely because the R1 takes it on looks by a mile. rest are just fugly.

looks alone obv aren't a reason to buy a bike. but as i've said, i don't really want one. Plus in the hands of an amateur, they are prob all as good as each other.

infact in the hands of a pro there all good as each other, but these bikes are being bought for the road, so your not gonna take the bike anywhere near its 100%, so therefore the bike is being bought on looks alone - think about it, will you be able to push a 190mph stock superbike to its limit, dont it, not on a public road !,

so i would buy a bike cause it looks nice to me and partly to use part of its extreme porformance,
