my vote goes for whatever bike you feel the most comfortable on, you have to ride, who gives two shits what Tom, Dick and Harry have to say. go to the dealership, sit on the bikes, compare riding position for what you plan on using the bike for, daily, weekend- short bursts/long street rides, or track.

too many people on here are bias, it like going up to a corvette owner and asking him if you should buy a Z06 or a mustang

also consider availability on aftermarket parts, cost, and service



bty, my vote goes towards a gsxr
