woooooooooo HONDA! not bad. i mean cbr hasn't changed since 2007. all those bikes always go back and forth i feel like depend who changes the model that year.

cool kawa is #1 :) not surprised though, they added some more power in 2009 and revised the body for more of an aerodynamic look and feel

wow, suprised with yamaha, a couple years ago they were on top. i remember honda has always had a firm hold on 2nd or 3rd place. kawi and yamaha have always switched between 1st and 4th. yami has to up the power a bit.

I think they've also become a little less popular since Kawa's are so bloody cheap to maintain and purchase

what do you mean by cheap to maintain?
unless its a ducati, maintenance is the same, oil filter, tires, chain lube

i fell in love with the sound and looks of the ducati yesterday on the way to school... but your statement makes me rethink a little bit... then again, maintenance on the bimmer and on a ducati sound the same

ducatti is high up there in terms of maintenance. gorgeous bike and i would love to have a white 848 in the garage but just not possible right now. the new R1 might be just as unique in terms of sound but it's a diff bike than a ducatti.

breaking down wise, if something breaks it's cheaper to fix... while I was searching for info on the bikes I've come across prices for parts to be cheaper for the kawa

the difference is almost not noticeable
again if you maintain it, it shouldn't break, cause there is nothing there to really break, no power windows, no navigation no sunroof, again its a bike, suspension, frame, wheels, motor, plastics

go into the showroom, and compare the quality of the welds on the frame etc, and you will notice why I ride what I ride
