I havent sat on an older r1, but to me, the newer ones were uncofortable as hell. The tank almost came to a point in my balls. Sat on one for a good 3 seconds before i put the stand back down and walked away

Im riding a cbr right now and its alright. Seems to touchy on turns to me. My older SRAD gsxr was comfortable and rode like a touring bike. My friends 07 gsxr 1k was ridiculous. Hydraulic clutch and the ability to change maps from 600,750, to 1000. They are stupid fast too. Busas, zx12/14r's, ect...are just too much for a bike in my opinion. They look like limos and have so much power/tq that most is almost unusable.
