Oh come on, that's pretty biased! 1.7 seconds difference in lap times, over a 15-18 lap race is a 30 second gap!

I can't decide which is uglier though, the 10R or the CBR... I think maybe I'm stuck in 2004 but what the hell is going on with styling?

:oops: :oops: :oops: What I'm about to say is a little embarassing but........ I actually reckon the Honda looks pretty good. The more I see of the 08 10 the less I like its looks which still makes me feel good about the 04/05. 8)

The 08 10 sounds like a pretty good thing though and it sounds from the reports that it's a lot of fun to ride, which unfortunately doesn't translate into lap times. They give it a good rap as a road bike though.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

The new CBR is actually pretty ugly in red/yellow, the fairing looks like an afterthought, and that they've saved weight by only sticking a token about of fairing there. If I remember I saw one in black though, and that looked pretty good.
