Ok Ok but I like the new ZX-6R. Even Buz knows that the 600 and more specifically Kawasaki is the pinnacle of motorcycles. Why would I get something inferior. 
Re: Let's kill it please!
The literbikes also have lower gearing, I believe.
A fair point. However, the litrebikes still seem to have better roll on times than the Busas/Blackbirds/etc, which was the original comment.
Which makes such testing pointless
Most performance comparison testing is pointless. For streetbikes, who cares if one bike is 0.4 second faster 0-60, or if another is 0.6 sec faster in a roll on? It's all really academic.
Personally, if a bike is capable of the 1/4 in the 12s or less I think that it's more than enough for the real world. Who really rides around at WFO anyways?
Of course magazines need objective means of distinguishing bikes, and performance tests are a way of doing just that. {shrug}
