Which do i buy for myself ?? CBR1000RR, GSX1000R, R1, ZX10R ? Kindly comment on the '07s & '08s as well!

My height is 6'1". I do have experience in riding motorcycles of this cc and more, My main purpose of buying this bike is for those long midnight rides however often they maybe

These high capacity motorcycles are not sold by any of these manufacturers in India so cannot actually feel them or test ride them. Have ridden many older models of my friends but buying it for myself for the first time. My concerns are the handling, power delivery, smoothness, safety features, technology, looks, and mainly comfort as i am 6 feet tall and have a medium built. I live in MUMBAI(bombay,India) where the traffic is crazy. so comfort is one of the most important factor. The biiger the bike the better i guess ??

I no ways will buy a cruiser as i prefer these sporty bikes if i am going to spend atleast a million in my currency. BTW any of these would easily cost me 25,000 $ in total to import them here. SO pls advise carefully for something i can hold on to for a decade & still love it !

You mention comfort, Gixer, ZX, & Blade in the same sentence!

These bike a race reps. They are not made for comfort.

These bikes were designed to go round a race track as fast as possible. I have been to India ( only once ) and the roads were a laughing joke.

They are in such a bad state, I would be careful taking a MX bike over them.

Sorry matey , but you need to open your scope a lot wider. These bikes would be a bad choice for where you live.

let me guess?
you're a nerd and you want a bike that will impress the girls?
OK, pick the ZX10R in lime green

Comfort? Definitely the Honda CBR1000RR, it has a more relaxed stance.

I am very long legged and the only one I can stand (for even a few minutes) is a CBR.

It is kind of funny! Me, I ride a Bajaja Chetak as a daily commuter!

If comfort is a major factor in the bike you are going to buy, there is only one choice. The CBR hands down. All the tests i have read, pulse the comments of the people I ride with is the CBR is the best all around bike. Not the best in class in any one area, but the most street friendly by far. I have ridden an 07, nice bike, still goes like stink.

They are similar in technology and performance. Rider skill has much more impact than the performance of the bike.

But, if you want a comfortable bike you're looking at the completely wrong category!!!

Look at bikes like the FZ1, SV1000, or even FJR1300. These are fast bikes that will be much more comfortable. There are many more in this category.

Take a look at the Suzuki Bandit

Buy A Buell ITS AMERACAN. Oh and its the world's fastest Vtwin 155mph after that DEATH They come in dif colours and sizes. I met Eric Buell and the Daccati club (I'm Italian I love there bike's I'v owned a 86 FLH Harley and I tell ya from speed ta cruise those Buell's are so SWEEEEEEEEEEEET. Oh and have enough room for 2.

ps the Buell will eat those for breakfast(CBR's,GSX's,Ninjas except the Bashi model) That's FAST
