May not have the same power, but lighter stronger and better riders will walk away from an r1. Not many of us here could ride an R6 to its full potential much less an R1 Put Matt "bikerboy" on an R6, and myself an the R1 LE he would walk my ass, and trust me i know how to ride. Matt has raced though!
man, the lines on those bikes get sharper every year. Sexxy looking bike, as soon as my car payment ends i will have anouther bike.
