IMO it is. I have no desire to have a bike with that much power.

You're better off getting an 06 ZX-10R. It has a CBR1000RR looking tail with a straight pipe "motogp" style that exits through the bottom fairing. I personally think the undertail design is pretty gay but the exhaust on the 10R is sweet.
With a turn signal integrator it'll look so clean... Oh and it's faster and handles better than a GSXR1000 and doesn't have that frame issue.
Someone lowsided their 1k at 20mph and broke the frame in half, I would be afraid to own one personally.

I really dont think the '05 1000 will hold up to serious stunting. I have seen 2 total frame failures, one was on the track at a fairly high speed but the way the welds failes really bothered me. The other one was at only about 20MPH, collided with another bike and the frame just totally separated near the cylinder head.
