Gixer in last place? Hmm. TBF I'd consider any of them.

The press just rotate the winner each time - usually to the most recent model with the oldest model 'showing it's age' in last place. For the average rider; hardly get a penny between them

Of course the kwak owner wouldnt have a biased view :P but wouldn't you have though that nine times out of ten the newer models (advances in electronics and rider aids usually)... especially the 2010 bmw didn't raise the bar and therefore earnt its/their place at the top.

Dont forget MCN rated the blade that they said hadn't been changed since 2008 (true or not?) above the kwakker.

I've got a brand new 2011 model ZX10-R to play with this weekend. I've got to run it in for my mate who owns the local kawasaki dealership because he and the rest of his staff hate running bikes in, and I don't mind it as long as it gets me out on a bike.

Next weekend I've got the Z1000SX to run in, then there's another demo needs doing the weekend after that but I don't know what that is yet. I'm hoping it's not the W800
