Yes, Superbike has had a hard-on for the ol' Fireblade since it came out. WTF's up with them? I imagine they could test it against the entire World Superbike lineup and still find a way to say the 929 was soooo much better. I will not be the least surprised after the GSXR-1000 wins all the shootouts, and SB is the only one picking the 929, still raving about it.

As tired as I am of this whole "my bike is better than your bike" crap, and as much as I agree that the rider does have a great deal to do with it, you cannot deny that a faster/better handling/blah blah bike makes a rider faster, or everyone with half a brain would save their money and buy a little 4-stroke 100's. No matter how good you are, you don't beat a porsche down a twisty road with an 18-wheeler (unless you start in front). This is why the Air Force isn't flying wooden biplanes any more.
