That's about as wishy-washy as it gets. Either MO hates it as a R1 wannabe or sorta likes it as sport-tourer, but.... Until someone has the cajones to pit similar rides (get it MO and others; the SAME KIND of bikes) from Kawa, Yammi, Aprilia, Duc, Suzuki, etc. and give honest objective comparisons to bikes of a similar nature, we the buying public will be left guessing.

BTW, it might be a good idea to start checking fluids and pressures before riding...even if you don't care 'cause it's not your bike.

PSS: MCN had there review of this same outing 10 days ago...can't blame this one on snow.

It's a Brit publication. They have some of the most timely reporting on the web, IMHO.

He didn't say a comparo at the intro....he said in the last 10 days (since MCN filed their report) you should have been able to get your hands on a B12 (and ZRX?) and made some comparisons.

Re: Review falls short

Hayzus, are we thin skinned or what? The comments that seemed to wound so deeply were merely an expression of exasperation in that neither of the two online reviews (in English) have given much more than lip service to subjective comparisons of the newest of a very popular class of motorcycles owned (or lusted after) by many of your readers.

I appreciate your efforts and look forward to visiting the site daily...I even voted to pay to subscribe in the last poll. Criticism of journalistic effort does not equate to a lack of respect; responding in a defensive and personal manner does.

Re: It

Ummm, Darkspy, you DO realize that the bike is not yet in the States, don't you? Kinda tough for those of us that are NOT spys (or are relagated to staying Stateside) to have the ability to make comparisons when the articles are not available here....

re: don.t kill.....

This sounds suspicously like the drivel that a SooZook pimp (oops sorry, make that SooZook advocate) posts daily (ad nauseum) on the FZ1 Owners Assoc. BBS.
