thats funny cause i can never find an article where ducati wins. i googled it and guess what EVERY MAG has gsxr 750 beating the 899. the 899 was the slowest of the 3 around the track riders said and i quote i expected more.
so much for the 899 being the best super middleweight ever lol

You win Markalepsey. You are the world's most unhappy Ducati owner.
You hear me? YOU WIN!!!
Some others around here have tried to to compete with you but no one has been able to keep it up as much as you.
I crown you CHAMPION OF THE UNHAPPY!
Keep up the good work. As long as your unhappiness has no equal, long shall you reign.
Peace out CHAMP!

have not read the article, but the 750 is a hell of a bike for the money. non the less, if the tester is an I-4 guy, he won't be fast on a twin. same the other way round. also, some tracks suit some bikes better than others. tires, did anyone mention different tires?
also, how do you guys think magazines operate? profit by what you pay at the kiosk? LOL - all about ads. ching ching. you know where i'm going.
guess why in the german magazines BMW is always on top? their ads are on the first and last page and in between
now post up that link so i can read it.

And another:
2014 Super-Middleweight Sportbike Shootout - Motorcycle.com
Full marks to the ole Gixxer though. Those things are ubiquitous for a reason. Had one myself a few years back, and they are very, very well sorted sportbikes. If someone handed me the keys to a new one for free on the sole condition I could never have another sportbike, I'd give it serious thought. They just work.
That said, it'll be interesting to see how they respond now that their "supermid" space is getting some attention from other manufacturers. With their re-entry into MotoGP with a crossplane I4, an all-new 750 could be pretty tasty.

Not any more. The latest is that the crossplane motor is gone replaced by a traditional screamer 4-banger. The interview I read with the project manager was pretty clear that their marketing connection to what is on the the showroom floors is vitally important. Since no crossplane in the current product, back to the traditional I4. De Puniet and Aoiki tested both motors back to back and there was no difference in lap times, IIRC.
Interesting! All the videos of the bikes from the latest Sepang test show the testers on an I4 crossplane bike; it sounds virtually the same as the Yamahas. I knew they were abandoning the V for marketing reasons, but hadn't seen anything about them going back to a screamer firing order.
