Visordown readers' top 10 non-Japanese sports bikes

It doesn't have to be Japanese to be good, you know?

HERE are your 10 most highly-rated non-Japanese sports bikes on Visordown, as chosen by you.

We've taken all European and American sports bikes from our database with three reviews or more, then averaged out owners' detailed ratings on the engine, brakes, handling, comfort and build to bring you the consumer's top 10. The higher the score, the more highly rated the bike.

Remember, this list is created using your reviews. The ratings are out of a maximum of five. 

10. Aprilia RS 125: 4.08 out of 5

Low down the RS is rideable, if a little slow. Hit 8,000rpm and it all changes; the exhaust note switches to a high-pitched 'waaaa' and the little RS flies, until it runs out of puff at around 11,000rpm where it simply stops revving as though it can't draw enough fuel in. Handling is razor sharp and the brakes have more than enough bite for this 125kg flyweight.
