Hey All,
A few quick question for all of you...I'm thinking about upgrading my '04 R6 for an '05 R1 (depending on what they change to it). I've ridden for about 2 years. First bike was a 1979 Honda CB750K, then the 04 R6. By the end of this season i'll have over 10K miles on the R6. To date I've never crashed or dropped a bike on street (did a lot when I used to ride off-road). I have two major concerns about upgrading to an R1;
1. Do I have enough experience yet to handle one?
2. Will I want my R6 back?! I love the 'flickability' of the R6 and how absurdly nimble it is in turns. I don't know if losing that would be worth the extra power of the R1. Is there a significant difference in handling between the two?
would love to get some feedback from the vet 1000cc/ R1 riders and also love to hear from anyone who has upgraded from an R6.
thanks in advnce!
