The bike that most impressed me when it came out was the FZR1000 Genesis.There was a magazine road test versus a Lambo Countach at the time which blew me away.
I had a black and red 'un.I remember the day I picked it up from Wheels International,.....just blipping the throttle in the car park filled me with fear.It had loads more power than my then FZ750.I got soon got used to it tho!
The bike was a rocket ship and saw off many a GSXR 11,ZX10 and CBR thou at the time.
I later swapped it for the new EXUP version,.....a mistake.The EXUP was a great bike,but it just did'nt have the raw feel of the older model.
