The real reason I like the R1 is the bike fits me perfectly. Seat to handlebars is VG without having to slide back on the seat or get pushed forward. I'll have to sit on the 1000rr again cause I'd rather have that (much cheaper and lighter), but the R1 sounds cool as hell.

Ugh, I don't see how it "fits" anyone. I had to push away from the tank after EVERY bump. Between that and holding my legs away from the heat, I felt pretty silly.
