Still up in the air on a new bike. Can't decide on 07 Repsol Replicia or G1K. Going to the show on the 6th up in MI, hopefully that will help, but what does everyone think? Opinions would be greatly appricated. Thanks

Depends if you like garish paint jobs and want the 18 to 20 year olds think your cool, or you put performance first and want to kick ass.

Give me the GSXR and a set of Pirellis Super Corsas and I'll be out in the hills while the Repsol boys pose it up at Starbucks.

Of course if you want to throw in the full complementl HRC kit parts, I could always sell the Repsol body kit and get the Black stuff and have a bike almost as good :D :D

All I can say is, if the Repsol CBR had been sitting next to my 06 anniversary R1 in the showroom it might have taken me a while to choose. The Gixxer would never have come into the equation, I owned a Suzuki once and always thought it was a cheaper build to any of the other 3 main contenders.

get the Repsol...who cares if its just stickers? all the literbikes are soo close in performance anyways, and the repsol looks badass. more than likely the bike is better than you are so even tho the gsxr is more "performance" i doubt you will be able to wring out that extra oomph on the gixxer vs the repsol.
