2010 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Vs 2010 Kawasaki ZX-10R

This page is a comparison between the Suzuki GSX-R1000 and the Kawasaki Zx10-R. The Kawasaki ZX10-R is not a favourite of mine I prefer the other models in the Kawasaki range like the Z1000 or the ZX14 the time of writing this page. If I was going buy a 1000cc sports bike it the ZX10 would by the last on my choice of 1000cc super sports motorcycles for various reasons. The most important – is that it doesn’t look good enough. Close up the ZX10R is typically cool but on the road it’s angles are just too 

Anyway as usual the two super sport bikes here are potentially the fastest and best handling motorcycles you can buy in early 2010. I use the term potentially because each motorcycle’s abilities are only as good as the rider – meaning you!

Personally I like the design of the GSX-R1000 more than the ZX10-R because it looks modern with retro touches like the exhausts. The ZX10-R looks great in isolation but it slightly crosses the line between lightweight aggression and cute a tad odd overall. Once again we have to be thankful that they don’t look the same.
