decisions decisions decisions......

So I am on the verge of buying a new bike. I was gonna buy an 06 zx10R, but my wife doesn't like the tiny little seat. I enjoy having her ride with me, so my choices are as follows... (all 3 bikes have 0 miles on them BTW)

1. 07' suzuki hayabusa. ($9400) This bike is the most expensive of the trio, but also the newest.


2. 04' ZZR 1200. ($8900) This bike is nice and comfy with a tall windscreen, but its carbed, not FI.


3. 01' zx 11 ($8800) this bike is also nice and comfy, but carbed as well.

Nice choices there you have...

I don't think you'll go wrong w/ any of those bikes...

If you're worried about carbed vs efi don't

re-jetting isn't all that difficult....IMO

yeah I know, I was just thinking that this tiem around I may go with FI instead, its not really an issue with me, I just really have no complaints about any of them. The hayabusa is the least comfy (for long rides) but that doesn't mean its uncomfortable by any means.

You could always redo the seat and use gel pads/memory foam...

Yeah seriously, if your worried about LDO then choice 1 but the RGI makes it run better.

The PPO is good for the option 2 but GTI is too damn small.

Option 3s YSP is good but not great but the damn LR kicks ass.

Fuck all 3 of them. This is what you should get.



Slap a full Termignoni exhaust on and you're set.

Or go with the GSXR-1000



And slap on a Yoshimura TRC stainless/titanium system on it.

Ya, the new suzuki stubby exhausts are fucking sexy. I wasn't a fan at first but now I'm sold on them.
