So every one liked the 10 for the track and the Honda for the street....The ZX is geared for the moon. I rode one this weekend at the track and wow its a fast bike!!!!! and yes it was a green one

What about the bit that says " on a tight track like this the CBR's superior engine flexibility, nimble nature and continual reassurance are like a guiding hand. I'm confident, lest taxed and more relaxed. As a result I'm faster and safer for longer"?
I think what you mean is that everyone liked the 10 for the track and everyone liked the CBR for the track AND the road.

wow nice write up! Damn, was it just me or was it REALLY PAINFULL for them guys to give it to the Honda? Seriously! It was as backhanded a compliment/award as I've ever seen, especially considering how amazingly well it performed everywhere. It should get better coverage is all I'm saying.
Fair is fair, the 'Blade kicks some serious, all around butt. Even if I don't like Honda's, specially there 1000's, I can easily give credit where credit is due.
So you going to trade in that R1 steve? Put a Honda next to the Honda race bike?

Nonsense, this is nothing to do with this test. I could get round Rockingham in that time on my bicycle. Where's the 'missing page' you claim from this test with the lap times?
