For most riders? Yeah, the bikes are all equally terrifying and equally unapproachable at full throttle.

Uhm... Checa isn't in FIM superstock... and in those races, the rider usually makes more difference than the bike. Just like you can see guys on 5+ year old bikes in contention in R.A.C.E.

Buy whatever blows your hair back. I'm over having just the fastest straight-line bike.

Agreed. Riders make way more mistakes, even in WSBK, and if you can ride consistent and mistake free a rider can take a championship over a more winning but error prone rider.

And yes, I was referring to Checa's shakedown of the Panigale 2 weeks ago, and testing of the Pani before its WSBK debut next year.

Rumour has it Checa doesn't like it and may be seeking a ride with another factory. But that's just a rumour for now.
 
Where's the MV F4? After testing the 2011 last week I fell in love with it, awesome engine, exhaust note, sexy as hell... I also really want to like the Pani, unfortunately there is no demo bikes in Ontario, so Im stuck waiting for one showing up to make my purchase decision... S1000RR also for 2012 promises more midrange, should be testing that on BMW demo day in August... RSV I was told is geting dated with the engine output, yet again no place to demo one... Therefore so far the best bike is MV Augusta F4 2011...

Every review is saying it has a weird punch in the power in the higher end, like a turbo kicking in or something, that badly upsets the bik mid corner.

Why is it so hard to believe that a GSXR wins some opinions?

Suzuki have been building bikes for a long time in case you forgot... and GSXR1000s have generally been the bikes that pushed the envelope. K1, K3, and K5 were all awesome bikes.. Other manufacturers were playing catch-up. They're reliable, fast, affordable, and comfortable..I'd say they definitely belong top of the list for street bikes.

I recently sold my 06 GSXR1000. It had 50,000km and after many roadtrips and trackdays it never let me down. Just tires/pads/chain. Heck it even had the original battery working great. Exhaust and ECU definitely wakes it up and makes a big difference. Nothing but good things to say about that bike and it was a stud both on the street and on the track.
I replaced it with a 2009 GSXR1000. Definitely a very different bike compared to the 2006 model but so far I'm very pleased with it (only street time on it so far). Very easy to see why people love these bikes.
