A radical new R1 and a spanking new GSX-R taking on the mighty Fireblade and much maligned ZX-10R, the scrap for 1000cc supremacy is closer than ever...
Just when I thought I was getting close to reaching cerebral maturity, the 2009 GSX-R1000 showed me that I still had a long way to go.
Another year, another choice selection of 1,000cc sportsbikes. But this year is a particularly good vintage as Yamaha, Kawasaki and Honda try to close the gap on Suzuki's all conquering GSX-R1000 of 2001.
