You should have stuck with Suzuki. I guess you decided to live life at a slower pace though.

Re: Converted to the Blade

They're all just as equally as fast. I had the opportunity to ride a GSX-R 1000 and I was just as impressed with the "get up and go" as I am with the Honda. At this level of motorcycle I believe it's just a matte of personal preference.

Good display of above-average judgement. Welcome to the club. Might even teach you the secret handshake.

Re: Converted to the Blade

Wise choice. I have ridden all of the liter bikes, and the Honda worked best for me. And the fit, finish, and dependability are absolutely unmatched.

Newbie.
FWIW, I have ridden all new liter-bikes also. I enjoy my RR the best by far. Eventhough my buddies '04 ZX-10 is a blast to ride, it is to harsh.

You'll love the Honda. I've loved every one I've ever owned.

And if you REALLY wanted to go fast, the Suzuki would come second after the ZX-14. Friend of mine has one. Wow that thing can move. It corners surprisingly well also.
