I'll still take the Kawi...

I don't like the front view of the Honda, but it is the best looking bike for sure.

IMO the exhaust is the only good thing about the Honda.

The tail is too small and short, the vent on the lowers is too straight-edged, and then of course there's the whole problem with the front end.

I would take either the R1 or Honda based on looks.

Performance? See what I said about appearance.

Remove the fender and passenger pegs, get a seat cowl and they clean up real nice. I can't see my bike while riding it so looks are secondary.

The RC30........still the best-looking Honda ever made

Honestly I've never thought the 1000RR was bad lookin. The front isnt bad, its the tail that I thought was kinda cooky. And just throw some new cans on the Gix1k and she isnt bad lookin either.

I agree....any of them make for an awesome ride.

No way I'd give up my 07 R1 for an 09 R1 and have to pay the difference it would cost me to do so.

The best looking R1 was in 2002.

And there weren't too many bikes before 98 that I would even consider, they're so ugly.
