I find the Ninja's - at least the newer ones - 6R, 10R, even the RM's - to how to say, SUCK. They don't handle worth a shit and are annoying to play. Wtf?? I know this is not the case in real life, they are quite amazing bikes, handling-wise. They win at the roadcourse in most comparo tests.

The R1's and R6's on the other hand are amazing. Fav bike is the R1 RM.

Really? I've done comparisons with the 600 bikes and have run my fastest times on Fuji 80s with the Ninja 600R. Along with the R6 I find it the best 600cc bike. BTW the bike with the 5stars and Tiger racing bike are fucking sick!!!

hmm.. I have to try the 600R again. You're talking about the current version, right? I don't think I took too many laps in it, I was too frustrated by it The ZX-10R really disappointed me, compared to the R1.

Also does it seem like some of the years are off on the bikes? Like, most of them are '05s, even like really old-looking ones. Haven't done any research at GTplanet on this, might do that later today.

I can't do it right now... but if someone gets a chance, can you time the R1 from 0-150, in the game? A stock '04 R1 will do it in ~10-11 sec in real life. thx.

I'll try it the next chance I get, if nobody is able to here.

ok I just timed it, it took about 16 sec from 0-150 on the stock R1. lame.

a stock R6 will do 0-150 in 17.5 sec in real life.... back to the Ring...

just took an R6 out.... it also ran ~16 sec from 0-150 mph in the same section I ran the R1 @ the Ring.

I'm pretty annoyed by this. Bad bad shortsight on the part of the team responsible for the realism.

think about how much better GT4 would have been had it had an in car view. The "cockpit" view on TT is (soooooooo realistic)
