2015 Literbike Spec Chart Comparo - Motorcycle.com

nice comparison, don't think i have ever seen one like this.
although the ducati is expensive, i think it's worth it, some are saying it's overpriced

I think when the dust settles after the magazine comparisons, the BMW will still be king.

Rock.

a digression, but I've just realized thats the Axis of Evil. Germany, Italy, Japan... LOL... sorry I'm a geek...

Although the Shootouts won't likely happen till next year, they can't come soon enough!!!

Perhaps not likely to happen but it would be great if there could be at least some early "First Ride" reports published on the H2 and R1M... they're already out on the 2015 BMW S1000RR.

Our Checkbooks are waiting.

I think they will all be pretty close, BMW is hard to beat, but the R1-M
or H2 might do as well, or maybe better? IMO

depends what you're looking for I guess right. If I had to choose a bike to ride every single day for every single thing, yeah I think I would go with the bim...

Exactly

who's going to pull the best 1/4 mile time

who's going fastest top speed....wide open for miles,

and of course, best lap times at various tracks.

We will have to wait to see the reality...

well i think its safe to say the H2 isn't going to win any practicality contests...

top box and panners FTW

I really can't deal with the weird asymmetric headlights in the BMW. I even have issue with the R1 using one as low beam and one as highbeam. My Gen2 ZX-10R has the same issue, so I have modded it by replacing the stock headlights with a pair of HID projectors from an E55. Those have high beam shutters in them, so both are always on and the highbeam switch just activates the shutter. Still looks stock.

When I saw the street version of the H2, the single (and thus symmetric) LED headlight had me sold.

I agree except in a tight turning circuit or road and if it dont win in stock form it will with a little mod when available as we know that it can be push a lot more .

They are all top performer motorcycle anyway and the choice to get one of these bike come to a personal taste.

If I was really rich I would probably buy one of each.
