That and every other 1000 now does 100+ in first gear so that isn't a good reason to buy one. I have heard the shifting on the Kaw is extremely rough. I personnaly am leaning towards a Gixxer for my next bike but that is atleast 1 year away.

and i don't to hear people popping in here and telling me how theirs goes 150 in first...down a 30 degree slope with a 70 mph wind at their backs. I'm talking actual speed too, NOT that over optimistic speedometer that they put on all these bikes that reads 10 - 15 percent higher than it actually should. I love looking over at some of your guys's bikes while were doing 65, and reading 73 on your speedometers.

When I first got my R6 I had one of those radar things on the way home that asks you to slow down and couldn't figure out why the spedo was reading 50 but the radar thing kept saying about 42-45. I've never topped my buddies R1 out in first, but I'd imagine it does close to 100mph if you pin the tach...

I heard the new FJR1300 will run 14 sec. 1/4's, 1 sec. better than last years model. 
Seriously though, all the liter bikes are bad *** and great quality. Just a matter of looks really and I pick the R1 "Raven".
