depends what your scale is. track, street, drag ? not to mention you have years difference between the 3 bikes. so the technology difference is big.

I had a 98 zx11 very nice. Now i ride a 929 in a straight line i might have to give the edge to the zx.But handling would definite go to the 929.The zx is heavy in the corners .I think you would have more fun on the 929. Dont know much about the r1.I here good things about it but never cared for yamahas

Its gonna be the R1 just because it has much newer technology, just dont crash it, or abuse it and it should be fine.

Until the first time you have to work on a Yamaha........that will teach new words!!

The R1 has the performance hands down from a pure HP side but with a poor rider a 929 properly ridden will hand it it''s ass. The ZX-11.....wow, a relic.....but a fast one. It would be close with a 929 up to maybe 140mph when the ZX would start to leave it behind, however slowly it may be but if you throw a corner in the mix, the ZX is out of it''s element. The ZX would be my first choice for touring duty, followed by the 929......for track duty the 929 might even eek out over the R1 IMO.
