Just because a bike is fuel injected doesn't mean it's superior. Take a look at Triumph's line up. The TT600 is fuel injected, but it has some issues. The VMax will practically run 10's. I doubt there is anybody on this board that could ride a 929 to it's potential. There aren't a lot of guys who can, and if you can, you're a professional racer.

Honda makes good bikes, but nobody is an untouchable class leader anywhere. From the dyno numbers I've seen, the Gixxer 1000 is just stupid. 140hp to the wheel, after being wadded, lol. The ZX9R has an incredible powerband. The 929 is street oriented, and the R1 is well rounded. The funny part is, the R1 engine basically dates back to the late 80's being almost exactly the same as the old FZR1000. Seems Yamaha had a pretty good idea how to build 'em to age gracefully.
