mdg300 0 Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Evening all. Considering getting back into racing and I'm in the market for a new litre bike (stock). Any opinions on which people prefer?? Previous bike was an S1000rr so fancy something different, leaning towards the R1 for no particular reason. Options are GSXR 1000 - 2017+ R1 - 2015/6+ ZX10 - 2016+ Budget £15k ish Probably opening a can of worms here but after real opinions, preferably from people who have ridden these.

Max_66 0 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Heard the R1 is easily the best bike for Trackdays and Racing out the box... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
major_league 0 Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) @mdg300 Can't help on the opinion side but it's worth keeping your eye on Racebuykz, there are some seriously well sorted Superstock 1000 bikes from the BSB paddock up for sale on there - Hawk Suzukis, Keith Farmer and Alastair Seeley Tyco BMWs, Ten Kate Hondas, a few R1s and some MSS Kawasakis too. Definitely worth a look. For what it's worth, a fair few racers who have ridden them say the R1 handles a lot like an R6 or smaller bike, just with more power. Seems to go very well.
