I've always been big on Suzuki, until last year when I saw Yammi get their stuff together...so now I am going from a zuk to a yam. I will always do my homework and research before I buy!

sure the color can be changed, so can the wheels,suspension, engine......... but at what cost ?
to strip all factory decals and get a quality paint job is not cheap and most people dont buy a new bike with the intention of immediately spending thousands on a complete paint job...........

No. Speaking for the big 4 japanese, They are all so close performance and reliability wise that there really is no way you can go wrong these days... There is no ONE dominant force, things change every single year.

i've come to prefer kawasaki. i've owned 3 so far. had a bad experience in my youth with a honda 50, darn thing never wanted to kick over. vowed to never own a honda of any sorts again. since then had a kawasaki kdx80 dirt bike, brief stint with the yamaha ysr50 before my 3 ninjas. i am pretty die-hard kawasaki, but the new r6 is almost pretty enough to change my mind. maybe next time...

I voted yes but, I have had many bikes over the years and always end up happiest with Gixxers. I finally quit buying the hottest bike out and will just stick with Suzuki for my Sport Bike needs.
