CBR1000RR kicked the Gixxer's tail.

178mph top speed for the Honda
lap time was 1:23.59 to the Gixxers 1:24.28

knew they were gonna beat the big gix :wink:

The Honda is really impressive. It looks like they pulled out all the stops this time. Honda has the deepest pockets and the deepest bag of tricks. It's about time.

That's great! Too bad I'm gonna wait till 05 to pick mine up... :(

I am really liking what I am seeing with the new RR but I still dont think I can part with the 54....

that bike, not matter how well engineered, is not even attractively ugly, if it was like bluntly ugly, liek a pissed off ogre pillaging a troll village in a borderwar, hell yeah, the beauty of the beast, or if maybe it was weirdly styled, likle the rc8, unique, hell yeah, if it was flawlessly lined like and a vision of perfection and passion for the details etc etc like a low production number italian bike, hell yeah, but its not, its like they got some interior decorator who specializes in cutoms curtain to design this thing, its fuckin UGLY, and worst of all, boring, it makes me go, great, i dont give a fuck, its not even subtle and classily understated, so we can be like, beauty in simplicity, its just a boring fuckin bike

id consider getting one, but id rather deck my 954 out and make it unique, and able to destroy a new bike

and when im done with that shitm, the rc8 will have dropped, and fuck everything else, that bike owns, ROBOT INFLICTION
