To get back to the original question... I would have to say CBR!! In fact, I have a 900RR if you want to buy it! 
Now to get back to the argument... Harley is known for being maintenance hogs (no pun intended)! I've had Harley's in my family since I was as tall as a kickstand, and even my family members who own them say that they envy me in the fact that all I have to do it change the oil every 2000 miles and put tires on it twice a year. They are always having to take theirs in for this and for that. Comparing Harley (cruising types) and Jap/Italian Sportbikes is kinda apples and oranges. Harley tried with the Buell, but they just don't have what it takes... not yet. Who knows, maybe someday! Look at the AMA and IMA circuits... no Buell wins, because the majority of them end up with a DNF!

Dry weight: 390lbs.
Torque: 100ft. pounds @ 9000 rpm
Horsepower: 150 @ 10,000 rpm
Suzuki GSX-R1000 ( yr. 2002 )
Dry weight: 375lbs.
Torque: 72ft. pounds @ the wheel
Horsepower: 142rwhp
Dont compare this bike to the gixxer 1000 cause the gsxr 1000 is a road bike not a factory based AMA race bike. The gixxer 1000 comes off the showroom floor with 142 to the wheel thats almost as much as the harley but the gixxer is lighter. I would be very interested to see these bikes to go at it on a race track.
The VR1000 is a great bike, but you have to admit what suzuki did with the stock gsxr1000 is truely amazing.
