BMW for me. It's a beast of a bike. Zx10 great bike also but i felt cramped for my size. I had 2x r1 and Gsxr 1000. Out of my bikes I liked the gsxr the best but r1 was more sexy

They're all great bikes. The limiting performance factor for any of them will be you. Just buy the one which you enjoy the looks of the most, and fits your body the best. I had a gorgeous Ducati 916 back in the 90s, but the bars and the stiff clutch pull killed my left wrist on longer rides. The Kawi and the Beemer are a lot faster than the 899, if that matters. They're all fast bikes.

I've owned the S1000RR since 2010, but use it only for track days now. It's been reliable and a great bike to ride. The electronics on it were good in 2010, I can only imagine they're even better now. With that much power it's good to have the nannies to help.

I had the 11 ZX-10r, flashed, AR can lightweight battery and filter. The BMW S1000rr couldn't beat it on roll runs. I put 10,000 miles on that bike.

I also had the 2010 S1000rr. One of the first in Maryland. I put about 10000 miles on that bike.

Bottom line. The Kawi is cheaper and can be faster than the BM. Kawi needs upgrades in order to really run. The BM costs more but it ready to run pretty much out of the box.

The anti wheelie and electronics to me were better on the ZX10r. Either way these bikes will get you to 180 mph plus real fast.

Could you explain why the BMW? From riding experience on the bike!

I own a ZX6R right now and to me the 6R feels just right and so is the 10R, I sat on all three and it feels just right with the Ducati most appealing. I'm not a speed demon on a bike and just would like something a little more than 600, was thinking of the GSX 750. only downside is GSX does not have any nanny and I don't know I need it or not for a 750. On the 6R there was traction control.

I'll start off w my exp on dirt bikes that I've owned for you::
1978 Cr80..1981 Cr125..1985 Yz125.. 1986 Yz250 all bikes riden on the track
Current bike:: 07 Honda Trx450r fully race prep that I race when I get time.

Street::
1991 Gsxr 750.. 1994 Gsxr 750.. 1999 Yami R1..2001 Yami r1..2006 Gsxr 1000
Now I not only rode all my bikes in the country but at track days in Henderson Tx and Tx World

To answer your question my bud has that bike as well as the Zx10.. For me and only for me the zx sitting position is small for my height. Very good handling bike and does rip. The riding pos on the Beamer was a better fit for me and I like the power delivery better. Handled better, looked better and more fun to ride for me. Til this day We still take his bikes out to the country. I have thousands of miles on his bikes. Each of us has and will have an opinion. I gave mine. So my exp from riding is track and street.

Nope. He asked about the 3 above bikes. He didn't asked about anything else...
Just saying. Everyone doesn't know everything.

I owned a ZX-10R last year and currently own a 899 Panigale.


Panigale above all. I test drove the 1000RR, but I just didn't like the looks. It's a great performing bike, but it just lacks the spirit of a Ducati.


ZX-10R was a good bike, but it's a jap....
