Imagine both of these blacked out. They both look stunning.
PLEASE, help me sort out which one to buy.
I had a 2008 ZX10R, it was stolen. At this point, i have had alot of trouble. To the extent i rather see anither bike than the ZX10R. Which bike do you belive is the better, and why?

Both are very nice, and have lots of candy!

Thanks

I personally would get the R1. Suzuki frame welds tend to break.

 

[R_Velocity]

Tend to break. I know there was some breaking of the K5/K6. But i have never heard of anything at the later models.

I have no pics of them. But i don't see how that would be the breaking point for either one of them. Bikes, does it only come to bling?
Nah, i talk of which one is the better bike. Looks is not first thing that matters. It's just a bonus feature.
For what it counts, i personally believe qulity is quite same same at these bikes.

Ducati is nice, but too expensive. I also rather take KTM RC8R before the Ducce 1098(s), maybe a 1198 would go before the RC8R. But this is not what i asked for. So, please!! Cut it out of discussion.

My thoughts is mostly based on what bike would suit a ZX10R, former owner.

What kind of troubles did you have with the Kawi.:dontknow:

 

[M.Guenette]

Enee meany miney moe. If looks don't matter, then close your eyes spin around twice and point.There you have it,your new ride. You can't drive one on the streets 100% and both are that close so what does it matter? :crackup:

 

[R_Velocity]

Well, it's not that i see any problems with zx10r. It's due to the anger i have towards my insurance company. I have lot's of aftermarket parts i have tried to return. So, it would be smarter to buy a new zx. Though, i don't know if i can handle buying a bike, that is less prepped than the one i had. I have to start all over. My bike was stolen. 9 days old. It is not so funny. Insurance company is making life real hard. A time-line for when they see fit to have sorted all s-h-i-t out seems to take ages. I just feel i have a hard time looking and driving same bike again, due to all this. That's what it's all about.

R1 by far

 

[ShinobiZXR]

Go with the Gixxer if you want better performance. Go for the R1 if you want it for looks.

 

[R_Velocity]

Well, i have tried the gixxer k7 and k9, not the r1 though.
I read some reports claiming r1 is better in chassis. Suka also did some changes to chassis from 08 to 09. I guess it's more grunt in the gixxer. But i hear the rear shock is difficult to set propperly for best grip/traction.
Have youowned both a tried them head to head (r1 and gixxer that is)?

:+1: , word on the street is that they have the most power.

 

[Rspec99]

My vote would be for the R1, unless you are planning to go racing. The R1 is a beautiful bike in my opinion (except for the '09) and is well built. Some of the 07-08 R1's had a problem with their electronic controlled throttle and had to have their ECU's replaced. I'd definitely look into it, and test ride it before I handed over payment.

The GSXR has a ton more aftermarket kit available for it, and parts are very easy to come by. That's the benefit of ubiquity.

My buddies '06 R1 needed a new ecu also.
