2011 Big Four model changes?

[Homeslice]

Ownage.....The liters are all 30-50 lbs heavier.
Not to mention, except for the Honda, they all have those STUPID dual exhausts.

I think you should have one of each, like a Remington 700 in .308 for when you want the long kill, the M4 when you wanna lay down some cover fire...

Duh see above about emissions. More cc's = more catalyst and silencers. 03 - 05 was the best year for that kind of comparo. Btw. Where's the twin exhaust on the zx10?

The R6 is due for changes, but I'm not holding my breath. They update about every three years usually, and 2010 makes three. Maybe them pulling out of WSS in a year they would be defending the title means something, I dunno.

All Honda really has to do is put a slipper clutch on the 600RR and be good, haha.

Yep, just like the Gixxer, it has only had "updates" since 06. They are pussying out and not giving us all-new bikes anymore.

I won't buy the current Gixxer, because I don't like how its riding position or how its fuel tank is shaped. The 04-05 felt a lot better IMO.

the second gen had a lot of faults, its really more of a busa fighter than a superbike

The 2 year development cycle has come to an end, I think. Even when the global economy turns around I don't think we'll ever see brand new models every couple years.

No doubt! Liter bikes suck! 50% more horsepower, 75% more torque, 60% more CC and approximately 10% more weight than a 600... how terrible!
