I don't know price/value wise, but I prefer my 08 Z1000 to my buddie's 09 (08?) CBR600RR. In the tight hill twisties around here he has me beat- we switch off and as you know the clip ons put you in a much m,ore purposeful riding position. It feels more, "natural" going crazy fast into a turn. And, over 120-130 on the highway it feels easier, again because of position and the aero's of the bodywork. But in the real-world, where I live and ride, my bike is much more comfy to ride to work, home, school, the bar, (all in one long day) without back aches, and I can still whip almost anything (2 or 4 wheels) I need to. Not a good track bike, or long distance tourer, but in the middle- where most riders live- pretty tough. Super-Naked, all the way.
