Ricers on Bikes, ever seen this? - Page 5

Lemme think... which bike is the 929 owner going to be biased for?

Here's the truth, the 929 is doggy when compared to other 1 liters for straight line performance. There is no denying that. It's more like 5-20hp under from the dyno runs I've got access to, not 2-3 just fyi.

As far as the best bike in the 1 liter class or any other, it's whatever one you like best. I would rather put up with a Ducati 996 just for the sound, the looks, and the way I sit on it. I've sat on the Honda, on the ZX9R the ZX11 all those. I like the fit of the Ducati for me. I do NOT like the fit of the price tag. My friend loves everything but the size of the 748, he'd never be able to really use it. It's too small, he's 6'3" tall. All cramped up, lol, it's a sorry sight.

This "my bikes the best" **** is a joke. You could argue the points and drawbacks to them all day long. For the rider who is between 5'8" and 5'9" with a build of 163lbs who likes the color silver and wants to ride in a straight line all the time, this bikes the best, but if he likes red and is 5'10" then it's a whole new ballgame.

***It's got the smoothest powerband and the most low-end power of any of the other liter bikes out there.....

You might have the smoothest powerband part right, but the most low-end power of the other liter bikes out there, you are truly mistaken. That is the most ignorant thing anyone has ever said. And yeah I ride all the time, I've had a 97 FZR600, 99,01 R6, and a 2000 R1. I've logged 60,000+ miles on street bikes, so yeah I do think I ride quite a bit. And you shouldn't be so angry that you bought a 929, if it's what you like then that's cool, at least "your" happy right? I also like the twisties quite a bit by the way. But you say 2-3hp woo big deal right? Look at the GSXR's hp compared to the sad, sad lil 929, it's quite a bit more than 2-3hp. If you wanted a underpowered sportbike, that is smooth, then you got what you wanted right?
