Whats the better bike out of the 3? Yamaha FZ1, Honda CB1000R, Kawasaki Z1000?

Question

IM THINKING OF BUYING ONE OF THESE BUT CANT MAKE MY MIND UP WHICH. I KNOW SOME OF THE BIKES HAVE OUTRAGEOUS EXHAUSTS BUT THAT CAN BE SIMPLY MODIFIED.

BIKE AT THE MINUTE:- SUZUKI BANDIT 1200

Answer 1

Yamaha R6 or R1

Answer 2

I'd probably go with the FZ1, they are all great bikes but the Yamaha just appeals to me more. Have you thought about the new Bandit? It's allot of bike for the price.

Answer 4

tip......theres no point asking on here whats the best bike because it boils down to which maker you like the best.

You need to ride all three and decide for yourself as its you thats going to be paying for it and having to put up with it.

Somewhere like Midlands superbike in Market Harborough or D&K in Newcastle under lyme will have all three or at least two in stock for you to test.

Personally I'd take the Honda as they have far better build quality and a more "sorted" feel. The Kawasaki will rust within hours of seeing rain ( and yes I do like them!) but then they always have........and the Yam......even worse build than the Kwack......its all down to which one you get on with and what price you are willing to pay.

Good luck with your choice but for your own peace of mind make your own mind up!

Answer 5

z1000

sp2 owner but going to buy z1000 in 2 weeks

Answer 6

Kinda apples to oranges, butt

Z1000!!

Answer 7

Have to be the Z1000 just for the fact I have just bought one

Answer 8

go with the HONDA

Answer 9

If we had the CB1000R here in the states, i'd trade my bike so fast...

That being said, I'd go with the Z1000.

Answer 10

Zed thou, easily the better looking engine and great for customising

Answer 11

The new Bandit 1200 is bang for the money and did a good job of improving it without losing its appeal. But if you wanna go the other route, I'd say the Yammy FZ1, good top end, comfy, good weather protection unlikethe CB or Z1000. Z1000 is a hooligan bike, CB is least sporty.

Answer 12

All new street bikes are  out of this world amazing.  I think its really about personal opinion on cosmetics, comfort, and price.

They're all awesome

Current bike - 1998 Honda VTR1000 (under construction)

Answer 13

We don't have the CB1000R in the States :(
