My opinion Kawasaki hands down.

I agree with you ......................... for ugliest supersport ever produced!

That's how they figured that the Kawasaki would win make it so ugly no bikes would dare to chase it

funny you all say that about the ZX10, I put a poll in the ZX14 forum asking just that because I was wondering if its just me or is that ZX10 fugliest thing ever? we'll see what folks say, and so many bow to Kawasaki anyway.

poll:

Looking in the video looks like the rider behind is left-handed and the rider with the camera is right-handed..

this makes no sense

quote:
The bikes don't look very stable in the video therefore the front end could possibly have a lack of weight that is not distributed with the correct calibrations through the balance of the motorcycle..

uh... no... what you're seeing is image stabilization working overtime on an inexpensive camera waving around because it's gaffer taped to the side fairing of a bike going over 100mph... the image is actually quite respectable and turned out a lot better than anyone expected considering there was no "proper" mounting used.... just some tape and crossed fingers.

quote:
Looking at the Honda it looks completely gutted viewing the Kawasaki there could easily be 8 1/2 pound shaved off..

I dont get this statement either... the honda looks like it could easily have weight sahved off, or the kawi?

quote:
The Kawasaki looks like a well-balanced motorcycle with the removal of 8 pounds difference and with no lack of horsepower the motorcycle has there should be no comparison..

I think that when you get involved in modding the bikes, they're all pretty close... it really comes down to the rider and the amount of cash you have to spend on the bike.

+1 Thats reality -

but we love to argue over 5 HP difference on one and 5 MPH better cornerspeed on the other !
