Didn't notice that at all when I rode the Ninja. Exactly the opposite of the R1. Holy Hell! The R1 COOKED my thighs!! The Ninja 1000 feels almost exactly like you took my ninja 650R and put in twice the engine. IIRC, all the measurements are very similar- the main difference being the 1000 makes a bunch more power and weighs a bit more. It is a great STREET bike to ride.

Who needs a center stand? I've seen smaller versions that would almost fit in your back pocket. About 4.5" square- popped up in a facebook ad.
