It's defiantly a personal choice when choosing a bike Gary we would all have the same otherwise and we will find faults in bike that others rave about and love others that don't appeal to some mates! I love the Fireblade (obviously) the CB1000R,675 Daytona and ZZR1400 but the Panigale 899 done nothing for me! my mate absolutely loves his yet he hated the Daytona! And I did not like Speed triple at all actually I thought it was shite! So in reality we are reading what other people like and not necessarily what we would choose! We're really just seeing how our favourites fair against the opposition and are always disappointed if they don't do well But saying that they're not consistent with reviews at times 10/10 one minute then 7 the next, the back up to 10 if you follow a certain bike! kinda makes you lose confidence in they're findings!
Who gives a shit wot these numnuts say anyhow! I paid real money for my bike so I chose "Fireblade", Nuff said!! lol
I remember the original fast bikes , honest , Colin having a honest blast now it's just a. Comic same old same old spend the money on fuel!
