With how much the Jap bikes have shot up in the past years due to the strengthening of the yen, you have to really look at what your getting.
For example,
2012 GSXR 1000- MSRP $13,799
2012 BMW S1000RR- $15,995 (includes ABS, DTC, and Quickshifter)
When you start comparing specs on these, side by side, the amount you would have to put into the Suzuki to make it on par or outperform the BMW Stock, is sort of ridiculous.
The BMW is a LOT of bike for the price. And the quality of components is pretty much second to none. This is a ready to go, out of the box, straight up race bike.
And I want one so bad.

I agree with this 100%. My 2011 Suzuki GSX-R 600 was $11,500.00 MSRP last year. My 2012 BMW S1000RR was 15,300.00 MSRP. The difference in price caught me off guard because it was not as wide a gap as I would have expected.
Talk about more bang for your buck. The monthly payments I make on the BMW is a little less than $30 more a month compred to my Gixxer-Sixxer. The upgrade was a no brainer, lol.
