I have an 02 F4I that my wife rides, the F4I will go down as one of my all time favorites for sure.

Look at the fact that Yamaha makes the YZF600r, and for Kawasaki the zzr600. Those pretty much are the older style of the same bike.

The older bikes looks much much much better than the new ones.

I think older looks better.

And not the '06 ZX-10, either!!

as far as im concerned, the RC51 I owned was the best sportbike i've ever ridden. Close second being a zx7r I used for a day. Both inferior in every way, yet more fun than my 06 cbr1000rr ever was.

SOME yes... Kawi, yes... Honda... 1000rr yes.. 600RR no. Yamaha... R1 GOD yes... R6 no... Suzy... 06-07 was the best year for the 600 and 750 IMO... have yet to like the 1000.

I totally agree, the older bikes are better.

Of the new bikes I saw at the bike show, I liked the R6S the best. Why? Because it's pretty much the left over pieces from those older bikes (or something like that).

I just posted in another thread that I couldn't every sell my current bike for a new one because I know I wouldn't be as happy - ever.

And I have NO IDEA what the hell Kawi is thinking. Their designs have gone down hill since 2005.
