08 zx10 vs 08 cbr 1000rr
I am going to pick up a new bike in a couple days and i am torne between these two. They will both be new out the box, I have searched and not found much about the two. Any info on the pros of the zx vs the cbr would be great.
oh and I mainly run in a straight line. I do corner but I love to drag race and race other bikes, I am looking for the best power out of the two.

if you want power get the ZX-10R, its way better than the CBR not to mention better looking and its a Kawi.....

Power to the Kawi. Looks is a matter of opinion, I prefer the new CBR over the new 10R any day of the week. Almost every comparison/shootout I've read puts the Kawi as the better performer though, for the 08's and the 09's.

 The ZX10 is more powerful than the CBR. But it also matters which one you feel more comfortable on.

I'm also in the same shoes, I'm looking at getting another bike, and I'm torn between the 1krr looks or keep it kawi, mostly the reason I'm leaning towards the 08 rr is the paint/ styling the dealer close to here has a 08 rr left over in dark red/silver and it'll sit tits next to my car, they kinda match perfectly both in styling and color, but I love kawi and think is the motorcycle equivalent of chevy, so I'm also thinking about a 10r with a custom dark red paint job to match the SS
