That alone helps but doesn't fully solve the problem. Believe me, there are huge long threads on zx-10r.net. Lines help a little, brembo MC helps a little, but replacing the calipers always fixes it according to those that have done it.

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?

ducati hypermotard 1100 is close enough to a liter . . . . .

all the new bikes suck, the gixxer looks the best but sucks in other places the honda is a weapon but looks like ***, the zx looks like a preying mantis the r1 is just lame.

ive rode the new cbr and im a fan of its performance its leaps and bounds over my 05 but i cant get past the looks and its more the horrible paint schemes

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?

I cant compare the gsxr or the yamaha... but then again who cares about em anyways.. its all about the zx10r and cbr 1000 this year, and my boy has the 08 cbr1000, i have an 08 zx10r... after riding them hard on streets, canyons, and wheeelies... hands down zx10r punks that thing... the honda is pretty comfy though..

and as far as looks, the zx10r might be crossed eyes but that cbr looks like a rabbit or something... not to mention worst undertail on anybike ever goes to the cbr!!
and if you wanna talk colour combos available your gonna pay what 2k more for the black cbr1000 special edition while the zx10 has it stock..

and red, yellow, and silver... just dont belong on a liter bike!! knight rider black!! woot

Theres absolutely no excuse for the bike to have been made that ugly, it doesnt matter what the performance is like.

and does anyone know of an 08 gsxr1000 with a cracked frame from wheelies? No I didnt think so, so stop making generic statements based on previous models.


just because some people think its ugly, doesn't mean everyone thinks its ugly..


I know you think your opinion on its look is the tell all, 100% fact.. But its not!

Re: Which 2008 litrebike would you get ?

Good response, wtf. I haven't ridden the honda cos no stealers have a demo yet cos they're stealers. I'm sorry but just lookin at it and a sit on it won't make me hand over the mulla you know. That kawi was just street hoon all over it. Ohlins dampener, anti retard wheelie spin. Just felt like doing wheelies all day.

The R1 is a lil outdated but it is 100% the best looking and has been for years.

The gsxr is well, a gsxr. The only time I liked the gsxr since 05 06 was gixxer street 5950 in a few loose screws 3 dvd. Either than that?
As for the frames I think one dude on here did a post on an 06 600 which snapped at the neck from a major mousetrap. There was another on some guy at the track as well but thats all I heard.

Was this a typo? Or is it really lighter than the 600? That doesn't make sense.

I haven't looked at the specs but it wouldn't suprise me. The new 1k is the lightest feeling bike I've been on ever.

Is this the frist time that a companies race 600 is heavier than their race 1000?
