Default Your top 5 bikes of the modern FI era.

I didnt feel like continuing to jack the 954 for sale thread, so I figured i'd like to hear everyone chime in on what in their opinion have been the best sportbikes produced in the FI era, and why, if you feel like explaining. Base your decisions off however you feel like it, wether it be power, handling, looks, or just being a well rounded bike.

Im gonna go with:

1. 04-05 ZX10R
2. 02-03 954
3. 05-06 ZX6R
4. 05-06 GSX-R 1000
5. 02-04 ZX12R

Im not completely biased, but I am partial to Kawi.

cant really add to much on this thread but ive heard people liking the 02-03 r1 for its raw power for its time. i have an 06r1 and am very satisfied with it with the exception of the yamatick.

Looks good to me, but 4&5 are definitely reversed. What about the 1098 RR?

Not in any special order but

05-06 GSXR1000
06-07 1000RR
02-03 954RR
05-06 ZX-6R (636)
04-05 ZX-10R
Any SV650 (I'd prefer 03-up)

I know you said 5 but the SV has to be the best bike ever. Its cheap, has torque, and is the best beginner bike ever made! IMO it should only be a first bike for heavier people, like 180lbs+ since for anyone smaller than that will be fine on a 500 or even a 250.
