Just read wot I wrote... I'm gonna get turfed outa the club aren't I..!!!
Seriously tho, these rating lists don't do a lot for me. I don't think a bike can be rated, cos when they say 'best' what do they mean? Best at what?? And how can bikes from different era's be compared?
So, best all round bike of my era is what my thoughts were based on... I even used to go get the weekly groceries on the 'blade - big cardboard box bungee'd to the back seat... it was a sight to behold!
But on trackdays my 996 is noticably better to me. Don't know if it's quicker (i think it is?) but it sure is more fun. And it's as sassy lokking as a bike can get!
