What is it about the sport you prefer over the super sport? The liter supersport (ZX 10) is sick. I'm not thrilled with any suzuki offerings, but for the big brands, I sill think the R1 (Yamaha) is insanely cool and the Honda CBR is nice. Dream bike is still probably the MV Agusta F4. The exhaust alone is worth the price of admission. The BMW HP4 is an acceptable alternative if someone wants to loan me 23k For me, it's all about being able to ride comfortable for long distances. (get your minds out of the gutter you dirty birds, I mean riding a MOTORCYCLE!) Does Honda even make a CBR version anymore? I thought they had done away with that all together when they went to manufacturing the 600/750/1000 RR version? But really - I like to travel by motorcycle, which I can't do on any of the supersports because it just hurts my back too effing much.
Have you tried Aprilia or even Suzuki SV650 or SV1000? I put 950 on a SV650 in a day and never had any problems, but I also don't have a terrible back. Having ridden both I would take the Suzuki SV650 over the Aprilia that I rode. My B-I-L was the exact opposite, but it was his Aprilia.
I don't know any of the new offerings from any dealer. Good luck and have fun riding.
