Just back from a demo of the new ZX10R in Phillip McCallens , well its a blooming rocket ship , far better engine/bike than the 2005 R1 i had a go on last year , dont know how any of the mags put the R1 abover the 10

Would admit the R1 is easier to ride , less intimidating power delivery ,Throttle responce is a bit fluffy low down but once above 5ish its smooth , did not mange to rev it out as the roads were to busy and its just so fast

Next is the CBR1000 .although i reckon Honda will replace it next year , i mean two teeth on the rear sprocket and 5 mm spacers under the brake calipers with bigger discs and some odds and ends is not really much of an update ,pretty poor

Still not convinced on the jap litre bikes , but have and open mind yet , roll on the blade
