Test ride both bikes and I find out yourself?
I think you will be hard pressed finding a person on here that owns an RR and will you provide you with an in depth review.
If you look up a certain road and track forum, there is a user who owns both bikes and tracks them, his not hard to miss, perhaps he might entertain you with a response.
Personally Id go for 10R cause they mono good, so I'm told.

Theyre both great bikes at different price points. Alot of mods for the price difference but then again you get alot of kit for the Beema too. Test ride both see which suits you!

Read thru the above and its a good 'street' review. Also the fuel consumption is pretty good for both - i'll have to recalc my figures but the consumption for the 1000 is near same if not better than my old carby 02' 636.
ZX10R was 6.36 l/100km, BMW being 6.44l/100km. So close it doesn't matter.

What is this fuel consumption thing you speak of? We are talking fire breathing super bikes!
As long as you get 180km per tank who cares

I think wattman may not be happy with the amount of cries of war & turd wattboy has unleashed this morning.
Its okay mate, hit the M7; let us mere mortals handle the petty filth .
