I adore the CBR -- fantabulous bike. Or the new BMW sport bike --> it's more in the Hayabusa range (find the Suzuki machine too bulky for my preference). All in All, I'd prefer the CBR any day, even over a Hornet or a Moto Guzzi
When I was in Japan, everybody had the CBRs and YZs. I like Honda bikes and had a Rebel and an Interceptor overseas. I guess I'm leaning toward that, at the moment :-)
