I would not consider either of these bikes as "superbikes" There fast in a straight line but they will not handle for shit in the corners. I heard someone coin the phrase "Hyperbike" that sound more like what these bikes are. I don't know... call me crazy but the Kawi ZX14 is starting to grow on me. I just hate what these bikes stand for. When ever you talk to someone who does not know much about motorcycles they know the name Hyabusa and they think that bike is the best in the world.
