Interesting survey: What is the best 1000cc super sport bike?

Question

2008 models

Answer 1

I think the the best 1000cc street bike is the one that makes you the happiest. The are all awesome machines, but if you got your heart set on a specific one, go with that. I can tell you from experience that buying a bike that everyone else likes but you don't won't make you happy when riding. It's all about the ride for sure. If you got the machine YOU want underneath you, it makes it all better. But if I had to choose, I still love the old RC51. Just something about that bike that makes me want to ride as much as I can!

Answer 2

GSXR

Answer 3

Obviously the fastest one since the only real reason to pick one over the other is for bragging rights. How many guys out there on liter bikes could even come close to getting all of the performance potential out of a 600cc sport bike?? Practically none of them.  

Answer 4

Most Definitley the Gixxer 1000

I have a GSX-R600 and everybody I have talked to about the best bikes will say that the GSX-R1000 is at the top of the list.

Answer 5

buell xb12sg

Answer 6

Answer 7

hold on everyone... Understand that Im a R1 guy but heres the 2008 data and links to prove it...

The new Kawasaki ZX-10R scores an easy five out of five; it surely must be the fastest production 1000cc bike of the current crop. But this ZX-10R is not all about Kawasaki’s new blistering engine and head-banging attitude, it’s controllable and handles much better than the previous ZX-10R and despite the blistering pace is actually easier to ride. Not for the faint hearted, the new ZX-10R is a true superbike for the road.



How does the road going Kawasaki ZX-10R compare against the racing version

Watch the Kawasaki ZX-10R take on the Suzuki GSX-R1000, Honda's CBR1000RR and Yamaha's YZF-R1

Answer 8

All of the major magazines ranked the 2008 CBR1000rr as the bike to beat, although I am sure the link (to a suzuki site) from the guy above me will say differently.  Bottom line who are you going to trust more the independent magazines and their test riders (many former racers) or the companies selling the bikes?  From what I have read the new Honda make 20 more hp than the currant gsxr, which is a huge difference.  Last year I got a Honda, it's a good bike but from what I hear this years bike would kill it, I kinda wish I would have held off another year.  I also have an 02 CBR600f4i which has never given me a problem over these years, so I think Honda makes some very good bikes.  Heck they are all good bikes, just that the major mags (sportrider, motorcyclist, etc) have rated the CBR as the best and I would take their word for it since to me the are all better bikes than I am a rider.

Answer 9

None.

The best is the Ducati 848.

If not the RC8 from KTM will do he job.

Notice the bikes I have listed are not 1000cc.

Why be a sheep, when you can be different ?
