So the GSXR 750 out handles the R6 and CBR 600RR ? Humm.....

best handling is not what you define as whats the best around a track, when i think handling it is based on what type of riding i want to be doing, i want a fast twitchy track bike on a track and the heavy solid canyon carver for road, either one would suck in the wrong conditions and enviroment, articles like this are nothing but fodder for the masses who think they can complain and act like they know more then the ppl that created these machines...

For one,this is a review by British motorcycle riders. I agree that most of the bikes listed have performance and handling characteristics that would be more easily accessed by the average rider... I don't see that as meaning that these bikes are "better" handling or even better bikes. I mean they list some pretty strange bikes here...

its not even a review, its a poll. i assume that the top five were just the top five they heard about
