The mighty OW01 (above) packed 120 horsepower, revved to 14000rpm and cost a fortune! 
Purists said the YZF750R (above) was heavy and underpowered 
The R7 (above) was beautifully finished and handled well, but lacked power (in stock form) and was horribly expensive
The mighty Yamaha FZR750RR, also known as the OW01, was built to win races, niceties for the road be damned. With a 14,000rpm redline and 120 horsepower on tap, this wasn’t a bike for the timid. It was super-expensive, and laden with exotic bits like Yamaha’s very stiff and race proven Deltabox chassis, Ohlins suspension, six-speed close ratio gearbox and various titanium and magnesium bits for reduced weight and better handling.
The OW01’s successor, the YZF750R was deemed heavy and underpowered by purists and did not enjoy the kind of racing success which its predecessor did. However, the Yamaha YZF R7, also known as the OW02, redeemed some of the prestige which Yamaha lost, picking up a few race victories in WSB with Noriyuki Haga, and earning a name for itself as the best handling bike Yamaha’s ever made. The R7 was never a sales success though, as it only made 100 horsepower in stock trim (150 horsepower or more, when set up and tuned for racing…) and cost more than twice as much as an equally powerful, yet much more affordable R1.
A bunch of 1990s bikes - a Kawasaki ZXR750, Yamaha YZF750 and the original Fireblade - against a K6 model Suzuki GSX-R1000? Yes!

The GSXR 750 is still king of all bikes if got one and it is potent wel the idiot who said it kan only go 265kph is not verry smart cuase i push it to about 295kph standert machine but with a yoshimura pipe and bmc filters and and a yoshimura chip youl get about 325kph out of it but enough of that the bike realy is the best of both worlds.
The gixxer will give a fireblade gsxr 1000 R1 and zx 10 R and hte ducati 1098 a run for there money the ducati 1098 is realy slow for me to[p speed of 280kph and not to talk about the mv agusta 312r man what a lie it gets only 299kph and then it limits what crap is that!!!!!!!!! if you want any advice over these bikes e mail me @ milklordgrim@yahoo.com and any comments e mail me to i work for superbike magazine uk test rider dave pitersen
Can I just ask why you did your comparison of two homogolation superbikes but for the yzf model you used the standard version? The yzf750spe had 124hp standard and fully adjustable suspension etc. It makes the yzf750r look sick.

You dumba$$, you dont have a stock motored 750 that is going to do anything with most 1000cc machines (stock or anything else) especially a 1098. You'd get ur a$$ handed to you with no problem. Get another hobby.
