I am thinking of buying a Suzuki GSX-R 1000, Yamaha R1, Kawasaki ZX-10 or CBR 1000RR. I would like to evaluate each by year. What I mean is, is the R1 of 2002 as good as the CBR of 2002. Im sure there are old articles in like Motor cylce magazine comparing the 4 but I need to find those for 2000 thru 2005. I really dont want to evaluate if the CBR of 2005 is better then the R1 of say 2003 Just by year.

If anyone can help thanks.

You don't need a liter bike, or a 600 for that matter, if you have to ask a magazine, a computer forum, or anyone else which one is best for YOU. You should ride a slow bike long enough, and you will be able to answer your questions without anyone's help when you are ready.

First off DAD I know I have to ride them first but I would like to hear what they say about the bikes before I jump on them so I can see if they do have any tendancies that they mention I will understand what the bike is doing and also the articles do help with other things,  I wasnt asking you how they ride or going to ask the magazine were that came from I dont know, I understand you cant understand a bike until you ride it, but reasearching a product before you spend money on is something smart people do, if your one who just spends money without reading up on it thats fine, but I dont.  There is a reason they write the articles for people to read and draw certain conclutions.

Stay out of the thread if you not going to just help please.

I don't really think he was asking for everyones personal feelings on the 1000cc bikes.... I think he was looking for reviews... ???

Sorry can be of much help. If you are looking for reviews to help you pick one... this is prob the wrong forum. WE like our SVs

Ya thats all I was doing. I own a SV and like it just want to look into getting something alittle bigger. The only place I really have access to a computer is here at work and dont have all the time in the world to research different things so I thought I would ask if someone knows a place to get archived articles.
