Where's the MV Augusta F4 312R and the Ducati Desmocedici ? It's pretty hard to pick a winner from the current line-up; I'm not really a fan of any of 'em :?

Sorry mate tried to keep it real(not many of us have 100 000Euros to throw at a bike)and the 1098 has been the only italian contender in the magazines bike of the year.

Fair 'nuff. I suppose out of that bunch then I'd choose the GSRX-750. Litre horsepower in a 600 chassis :D

I've also got a soft spot for the 1098 and the 675 Daytona. Both the 6 and the 10 have gone backwards from the earlier model.

If I was about to lay out the cash I'd go the GSXR750. I think they're a lot of fun and quality and looks wise not too shabby. I put a line through the 1098 as it's in another league price wise and i wouldn't spend that much on a bike.

As for the Kwaka I've never really been a fan of the 06/07's and I am seriously getting over Kawasaki. Like the bikes but everything else ie service, support etc is shite.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a pointless excercise given most of us haven't ridden all, some, or any of the bikes? So what do we have as a valid point of comparison? How pretty they are in the magazines? What test rider X said about them? How annoyed we are with their service and support?

You're just pissed there's not a Z650 there aren't you........

Anyone willing to take a bet that a Kawasaki wins?
