i don't know how can anyone criticize the performance of this bike or any other liter bike... i bet 99% of you won't even get 50% on what the bike can do

If Honda go look on

ZX10-R 2012

s1000rr 2012

and even bad R1 2012

with technology those buys carry the cbr 2012 look like dinosaur

let not forget the big piston fork which is already 2 + years on those bikes not to mention brembo

Honda the train left and you may never get on it again if you don’t react fast.

I ride Honda but not going to any more.

YOU GUYS ARE FOOL'S honda technology isnt outdate!! do you guys know shit about motorcycle or are you those casual riders you think they know shit because YOU simple OWN a bike. let me educate you on HONDA!! HONDA is the most advance out all the motorcycle they have the most money and most power, HONDA does make bikes every 2 to keep up with it competitors because when the release a bike its already 3 steps ahead of its compition, and history has proven this

@evetiannu

yet the 1000rr out sold them all, thing i like bout 1000rr is honda are still keeping us road users in mind, good midrange, not something u have to ring the neck off to get going, how often u at 100% throttle anyway on the road?

@evetiannu you also forgot to mention that Honda's C-ABS system weighs over 9 kg. while the ZX-10R's ABS weighs 2.5 KG. !!!!

But all the new bikes are amazing, technology or no technology... in the British Superbike Championship the ZX-10R and BMW teams ride with their traction control OFF because it slows them down.

@evetiannu i personally owned zx10r 2011 s1000rr and a ducati 1198sp and cbr1000rr 2009. i have to say the looks wise i like the 1198sp the most. however honda has the best performance out of all. its the easier bike to ride fast. Although it doesnt come with the bells and whistles, but its performance and handling is truly outstanding.

[Uncrazamatic]

Sure I would like honda to win more WSB races.But that's not the only thing that matters.The CBR 1000 is a great bike at Isle of Man TT.I'd say that's a true test of how great Honda is.I ride the 08 at Deals Gap,Tail of the Dragon.Compact nimble package.Not a horse like most other 1000s.

@aluisious

may be true, Honda needs to perform better in sbk, where they are actually bikes we can buy.

[aluisious]

@Dreadzedan No, it says nothing. You're not buying an RC212V. GP results are irrelevant in the showroom.

[aluisious]

@TheBradpittt LOL "not even close to the top 10." There is no Kawasaki GP team.
