Never been a fan of previous R1s but it looks like Yamaha have had enough of being handed the wooden spoon in tests and jumped to the top of the class again. is there a 'pecking' order of superbikes these days? As far as I knew it was BMW S1000rr then everyone else in whatever order you like. As far as I know it's now:
Yamaha R1
BMW S1000rr
Ducati 1299
Aprilia RSV4
Kawasaki ZX10r
Honda Fireblade
Suzuki GSXR1000
Missed anyone out? Got order wrong? I'm talking Handling, power, brakes, reliability, costs the whole package not just which one kicks out the most grunt. The GSXR1000 is long overdue a decent update instead of the 'bold new graphics!' they kick out every 2 years but whether they can jump up all those rungs with the new bike...?
With respect i would suggest that the order is:Yamaha R1
BMW S1000rr
Ducati 1299
Aprilia RSV4
Kawasaki ZX10r
Honda Fireblade
Suzuki GSXR1000
