What are you trying to gain with a "bigger" bike?
More room for touring? More torque for commuting? or huge horsepwoer for wheelies?

Was in Amsterdam 1st week of sept and saw a ten kate cbr1000rr in person and in all its glory. 200mph,street legal, and bulletproof internals.
And for only 35k it's a steal.

If you want to stunt. Pick up an older Honda 900. Like a '98-'99. Or even take a loook at my 929. I'd hate to see it get trashed, but hey that's life. It's in the For Sale section. I can email pics if your interested.

If you are looking for a liter bike for stunts your only REAL option in the CBR...they have a very low balance point and all the power you need. Plus the subframes are known for being sturdy and the plastics are a dime a dozen on e-bay. Speed is of little concern as all liter bikes are within 5% of each other, and since you didn't mention track/canyon riding I see this as your true choice.

I dont know about you guys, but the new R1 with 180HP!!!! comon you cant go wrong with that, duel undertail exhaust, and the fact its one of the most badass looking bikes out there. relitivly small in size for the bike itself. Impresses me alot

You can't go wrong with the 900 series from Honda for stunting. If thats what you're into. Check out some stunt vids. I can mail you a cd-rom rip of Las Vegas Extremes. They run cbr900s or gxrs. So take your pick.
