General SBK Discussion Thread

mcn is most definitely rigged. most magazines are. they just say it in a nice way so no one suspects it. every brand of litre bike has a different feel, usability factor. hondas are smooth. kawsakis are stonkin , scary and perfect in the hands of a professional, gixxers used to be the weapon of choice but seem to have dropped their game a bit and yamahas had a great combo of looks, smoothness and power. the looks have made it the posers favourite bike.

Cool Factor
Desirability, poser value, extra features

Fit and Finish
How well is it put together, overall quality

i dont agree with u, we have almost all the japs(read yamaha, suzuki and honda) and ducati has all its lineup in india

note:i m only talkin about litre bikes here

Why dont you agree with me ? Suzuki does not have a 1000 CC bike in india. Honda has, Yamaha has and about Ducati ... do they even have a website in India ??????? I just know that they have their bikes in India, from unofficial sources.... Dont think they are interested in India much..
Kawasaki does not exist. On their own that is, only heard that name along with bajaj.

surprising!...ive ridden fireblahs fireblade and its comfortable as hell...but then im just 5'6. but it aint that bad...ive sat on an r1 and the gixxer...'08 r1 is a back breaker.

Not exactly. Not in evryone's case. I rode the R1 quite extensively and that too in full kolkata traffic but i felt at home on it. There is hardly any significant difference between the litre class bikes. Every rider has a different comfort level. so its difficult to make a general assumption
