The October, 2008 issue of Motorcycle Consumer News tested the 2008 CBR1000RR. They liked it. But the main thing was that "it was easy to ride fast." One of the testers has a 1098S. He rode it as fast as the 1098, but with half the effort. Within three laps on the CBR, he was equaling the 1098. Two sessions later, he knocked off 3.5 seconds. That's a lot. The next day, he sold his 1098 and bought a CBR.

In my book, "easy to ride quickly, with less effort" is way more important than ten more horsepower, ten less pounds, or 10 more MPH.
