yeah, i'd be a little nervous. seems sport rider is yet another example of those mags that tend to produce rather "odd" shootout results quite often. glad to hear it worked out in "our" favour this time

10 years after the 900 Ninja stunned the world, the 1000 Ninja does it all over again. Can't wait to see the Ninja in another decade.

Yeah, Sport Rider felt soooo bad about giving credit to Kawi, they had too use the entire rest of the mag to praise the "all mighty" gixxer in every caliber made. Gotta show that Suzuki bias somehow.

I waited two weeks for the local grocery store to stock it. Finally ran up to Barnes & Noble (nearest book store is fucking 30 miles away, welcome to the sticks) and picked it up.
