May have their eccentricities but if you can afford them.... why not? |

Anyway is Hohda a new chineese bike i dont know about. Based on a honda and just as borring.  |
See I never understand all this Honda = boring stuff. Granted I've never ridden any sportsbike so am by no means a fountain of knowledge. But how can any 600 supoersport or litre bike be boring? From what I read the Hondas are easy to ride (whats wrong with that) and are reliable (surely this is a good thing  ) With the sort of power these things have on tap I can't for the life of me see how any bike in this class can be boring. I don't get it confuddled. |
Wd and Tusky ride a Hitler bike as well so they should both be a fountain of knowledge on boring bikes

I've had Gixxers, Fireblades, ZX's and an R1.
IMHO the 954 blade was the best - not 'boring' at all. But like someone said it's a personal choice!

The best sports bike is the one you are happy with, but then again it does not mean it is the best bike for you!

| It is personal choice. I can't get on with my R1 but it's still a great bike for someone else. |

My R1 felt right for me from the first ride. The better I became as a rider, the more the bike gave me back, or the more I got out of the bike - whichever way you want to look at it
I've enjoyed getting to know it over the past five years. Now it feels like an old friend.
However, someone else could ride it and think it's a pile of plops.
'Best' is completely subjective.
I'm glad to be in what seems like the minority though. Never did like following the herd
