WTF! I've had a crap day and have decided to take it out on the innocent. Each month I get almost ALL of the major motorcycle publications with great glee. I get them and squirel myself away from my girl and the kids.
I am however growing more and more disappointed with the current sportbike trends; there just doesn't seem to be a real difference between any of them. Ergos, horsepower, dimensions, hell even the bore and stroke are IDENTICAL on some models. The manufacturers just don't seem to make the same innovations they once did. GSXR750, CBR900 to name a couple. These models broke the mold and made the rest follow. Now it just seems like nobody will or can pull away. Bummer.
Long live the Hayabusa! 9+ years since it came, nobody is even close...screw the ZX14! If they really wanted to throw the gauntlet down it would be at least 200 hp at the rear wheel w a heads up display, electronic suspension....yada yada yada.
