ZX12R OR ZX10R OR CBR1000RR OR R1 IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO HAS RIDEN ALL THESE BIKES?
I'm the cap lock king
Here is where i stand i just sold my ZX12 Bike fit me great (6'4 240 in gear)Things i liked about hte 12 was the power and was so comfey. Handling was on par also just took more energy.
I had an 929 in the past along with a F4i Things i love about both bike where they where so light and flickable. Things i hated long HIghWAY rides.
So i sold the 12 thinking i would get a 10R frist choice at the time now i'm so confused it unreal.
I have loooked at the cbr1000rr and the frist thing i noticed was how it felt just like the 12R weight wise then the length was verry close to my 12r. This was just from me sitting on it. So i went and compaired the to truns out the cbr is only 1.5inchs shorter and only 45lbs lighter (i had lightened up my 12r by 40lbs so my feel was right on 5lbs). so this kinda turned me off at frist, then i started reading more about the cbr there are a lot of thing i like.
R1 sitting on the bike I can tell right off it's much lighter then both the 12R and cbr.
Zx10R wicked LITTLE BIKE BUT DAM IT's LITTLE.
JUst looking for some real feedback I've never been cunfused like this about getting a new bike. If only i was 8 inchs shorter.

The 10R is amazingly comfy for long rides........ as well I think better than the 12 I'm 220 5'10" I find the 10R bars are closer to you, so you don't have to lean as far forward hence less hand pressure!
Especially over 100 MPH ____________

If you're comfy on the Honda it's damn hard to find a reason to compromise that. You gotta ride the thing, not us. It sounds like you're not one to double apex the on-ramp, so the (relatively) fluffy chassis and motor might be a good thing. The R1 is the superior track weapon if that's your calling. Look at the 03-04 Gixxer too. Similar ergos to the Honda but with a razor sharp chassis and a very fat powerband. The 10r is more like a 600 ergo-wise, might not be the best choice for you. What a great time to have to make this decision.
