I like the 2011 ZX10r much better.

Honestly, all these Jap bikes look the same. It's discussing whether a hamburger or turkey burger looks better. These bikes are about function, not looks.

Disagree, the GSXR has had it's own unique look for the last 5 years..........And I'm not saying it's a great look...........It looks like an extrusion from a Wendy's frosty machine. My 05 is better IMO.

I 100% disagree. If you are buying a bike for the streets, look has to come into your buying decision. Your not going to buy a piece of shit on wheels. And besides, if we are talking function, you are never going to get within anywhere near what the bike was designed for on the streets. And these bikes are almost all the same anymore anyway, so pick the ergos and color you like best.

Sure, if you are racing the bike, who the fuck cares what it looks like. Can i go faster on it?

I like the current gsxr1000, and the last gen 600 with the bird wing lights. Not saying I'd ever buy one. But I hate the new 600 with a passion.

Well you have to be riding track speeds on the street. Remember, a small road course IS like a track. You can deciper good vs. so so good suspension once you begin to push it hard. Not to mention, good suspension will soak up bumps better and keep the front and rear tracking each other.

As far as the ZX10r vs 1000rr (2011), the 10r has a slipper clutch, launch control, traction control and it looks better.
