Alright, we don't wanna hear any whining about having to read another sportbike comparison test. We'll eventually get to the dual-sport comparo and the cruiser face-off, we promise, but first it's time again for the middleweights to throw down.
This is a class in which the evolution of a motorcycle is most apparent. It's actually appropriate that bikes bred for the cut-and-thrust of the racetrack also constitute the most ferociously competitive street market segment. It offers an omnipresent promise of something better.

I shouldn’t be writing this review about the new Kawasaki ZX6R. Instead I should be telling you how we couldn’t ride it because it was so cold we couldn’t feel our finger tips and the fact that our hotel fountain was completely iced up (at night) because of those low temperatures. However, Bridgestone always has a little surprise for us at Kawasaki intro’s. An instance springs to mind back in 2004 when they introduced the daft as a brush ZX-10R. I never had a single slip due to the sticky-ness of those unobtainiumable (add that new word to your vocabulary) All Japan Superbike tires thrown at us (and I was younger and faster in those days too.)

Pity the poor engineers of supersport bikes, forced to juggle seemingly contradictory design directives. It's got to look bitchin' but it can't cost too much, and don't forget to make it go around a racetrack quicker than any of its rabid competitors. Reflect back just 10 years and you'll see the middleweight class composed of bikes that could easily be used for regular commuting or some light touring, with handlebars mounted above the triple-clamps, accommodating footpeg placement and some storage under the seat.
