:mad:

There ain't much that can beat the K5/6 GSXR 1000 though.

It's subjective really. I think they're the worst looking of the three, and notoriously owned by absolute morons/chavs. Present company being an exception obviously ;) :D

All three are very fast, brake excellently, handle great. The only reason to go into the fine detail would be if it's going to be a track bike.

Of course, to me the GSXR is the best looking hence why I got one :D
The 05 R1 is my favourite shape of the R1's also, my friend has one in the Santander colours.
Not really a fan of that year ZX10, it looks really dated, even more so now, the R1 and GSXR do not look 10 years old, give me the latest ZX10 though.... /droooool

At the crank, they all produced around 160-165 at the back wheel, also dry weight, the gsxr was 166kg dry ;) and the k5/6 gsxr is now legendary for its midrange power, which is why it topped all the reviews and mags in those years :D:p

And why they've used that engine in the new GSX-S1000 naked bike. Loads of low down torque. I remember rolling on in 6th from about 40mph for an overtake and it just effortlessly surged past with plenty of poke.
