I am currently in the process of trading my ZX-10R for either an '07 R1 or selling it and buying an '09 because the motor is completely new and badass.

So yeah. What's people's thoughts on the R1?

I think that the R1 stands out the most of all the Japanese sportbikes. It would be my choice for the track. Although I like the Aprilia RSV4 more for its engine and looks. Its just unrealistic for the price and part availability/price.

always have a sweet spot for the R1. I sold my 2000 R1 and am looking for a new one. go for it.

Well, the '09 R1 has the new "crossplane" engine. (Note: it is not a "big-bang" engine) And from what I've read, the crossplane configuration provides increased traction through its firing order. Not to mention the probable chassis refinements and other updated bits. And you'll feel more like Ben Spies. But it's your choice.

I thought about at one time getting a R1. However my preference is comfortableness over power.

Before I purchased my R6 I went in to look at a R1, but found I just was not comfortable. I am pretty large guy, standing at 5'11 and weigh 280. I just did not think it was as comfortable as a R6.

Of course when you want comfortableness you look for cruisers, but that is a different story. Anyways, that is my 2 cents at least.
