Sorry, I was talking about the ZX10, my fault. I know that GSXR's only come with twin cans on the Thou models AFAIK.

Although the champagne on the zx10 is a sort of "non colour" it will have its advantages when it doesnt doesnt stick out like a sore thumb.

The gixxer is a great bike, no denying it, but I couldn't bring myself to get one and have to buy the matching shell suit...

I had a go on my friends GSXR750 and was a bit underwhelmed. It was a short ride, but I was expecting more from it and I couldn't get it into corners. I don't know if the steering is damped or has adjustable damping (2008 model) but it was horrible.

Ditto, plus a litre sports bike at least once in your life has to be done.
