Great! If I spend a few Hundred Grand I can have a motorcycle that will run 192MPH at Daytona! The Honda was apparently designed partially to clean up in AMA Superbike (with results at other than Daytona undetermined) at the expense of street optimization... Wait a minute... I ride on the street... and don't have an extra big part of a million laying around... The ZX-10R still sounds like the hot ticket to me. By the way, I don't think that there is any way that comparo is on the new Liter-bikes, they haven't hit the streets yet that I know of.

Re: Give my regards to your Guest Writer

I've always prefered "the Drunk, Crazed, looking for a fight, Irish" (favorite St. Patricks Day line for a Bonnie Lass "Do you have any Irish in you? Do you want some/more Irish in you?). Hey JB, where have you been the last week or so...?

What is up with Honda lately? I am a fan and have owned them but the last few years some of their actions are unfathomable to me. Why would they not provide access for testing to a major online publication? It seems to me that MO's relationship is "upsidedown" with them. Their excuses, over time, start to sound more and more petty. Could it be that like the 919 and 600RR their newest can't win in most open, honest comparisons? Are they looking for the "Motortrends" of the industry, remember when the Caprice was named "Car of the Year"? Maybe it says alot that Honda isn't playing ball. I hope MO continues to give subscribers the truth without regard to the Manufacturers feelings. I can get the Honda information elsewhere but will take note that those with the courage to say the Emperor is naked don't seem to get the "Red" carpet treatment.

Doh! Double post, sorry.

I think it's safe to say that unless you're REAL good none of the new Liter-bikes will tolerate much Hamfistedness.

Yep, maybe North of 1,000,000 to 1.
