2008 CBR1000rr or ZX10R
Guy´s I am in the market to get a new liter bike but can´t decide which one? I know that this is an kawasaki place but If you have test both bikes could you please be honest and tell which one you liked and what was better on each bike.

If I didn't have to look at either one, I'd say the zx10, it's a beast of a bike.
But since blind men can't ride, I'd say sit on both, take which one is most appealing to you and most comfortable as they are both great pieces of equipment

If I wasn't brand-loyal to Kawi sportbikes, I'd get the CBR.

Looks is a major part of my bike decision. I LOVED the way the CBR felt & looked in the dealer (yellow & black was BEAUTIFUL!) It was also extremely light & even slimmer than my 07-08zx6r. So i'd have to say that i'd choose the CBR.
Although i root for the zx10 on all the mag reviews & love to hear the good feedback on it, brand loyalty would make it my 2nd liter choice this year. Besides the ugly look- i also didn't like the way the seat felt, it felt like a square. CBR just felt great.

I love my Kawis but between those two I would probably get the Honda. It would be close though. I like the look of the RR, its lighter and from what I have read handles better in stock form. 0-180 is a nice bragging right but who needs that on the street. You also need a combination of everything for the track and not just the most power.

I would probably get the CBR also. The Kawi is sweet, and even though I kinda like the way it looks, it loses in that department against the CBR, and I don't need to have the fastest 0-180 bike, because I'll never use it.
Plus, think about how many of the 10's there will be on the streets now that the article came out. It's the new Busa, right after the '08 250.

DAMN...that's the first time I've heard the new CBR called anything but an eyesore. I personally think it gives the new 10 a run for it's ugly-money. And that's saying something.

^ yea but ehhh- i think honda was searching for a new gen look like kawi. But unlike kawi i think it succeeded. A look thats brand new so it takes some time getting used to but gradually grows on you.. at least to me it did.
