^^agreed. I don't like sport bikes and Kawasaki's. After I look this bikes pictures I think Yzf R1 is the most beautiful sports bike ever.

It's actually a sport tourer and not a sportbike so it should be larger than average, still ugly as all hell though.

The BMW is far more of a tourer than the ZX14. The Hayabusa (which is supposed to be getting a redesign soon) and the old ZX12 have always been in a gray area of whether they were sport bikes or sport tourers. They got pushed into the tourer category more than sport because of their size and comfort relative to the current Liter bikes on the market.

yeah, I like the YZF R-1 myself. The guy teaching my MSF course had one. It was amazing.

You know a bike Im stringly considering at the moment. The Fz-6 by Yamaha. I LOVE the way it looks plus it looks like a bike I could ride longer distances on without getting tired.

The Fz-6 is a strong contender for my next bike after I trade in my Ninja 250R.........either that or I get the YZF R-6 which is ironic b/c its such a different bike. Sheesh........decisions decisions. Do I get swayed by the R-6 or do I go practical with the FZ-6??
