Ready for a R1?
Hey guys, I am new to this forum. I have been riding the last 5 yrs and have riden a Trumph TT600, XJ600, Goldwing, XJ1100, ZX600, VTR750 and more (I used to work at a bike shop). plus I have owned and raced a KX100, YZ125 and WR250. I have only owned a CBR250RR and a XT225 as road bikes. I am looking at getting a new bike and am wondering if you guys think i am ready for a R1 or would a R6 be more sensible? I am definatly going to do rider training and track days and training before I ride on public roads.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Ready for a R1?
I would like to suggest starting out on a r6 because it is a TAD more forgiving than the R1. The speed that the r6 has will still make you go "oh shit" for quite a long while, and may infact may make you content with the amount of power that it has.
You do have a good deal of riding experience so I won't say that you shouldn't go to a R1, but I owned a r6 for awhile, and it is nothing to skip over just because it doesn't have as much power as a R1. Depending on your height though, you may be more fitted towards one or the other. If you are taller (6ft+), the R1 will probably be the better way to go. However if you are 5'11" or under the R6 will make you feel more planted on the bike.

i agree with R1 rider but it all comes down to your experience and abilty. All most of us need is a 600 but the extra grunt of a liter bike is awesome but unforgiving in certain situations. All bikes can go quickly but its up to you how you use it. That said an unexperieced rider can come undone easier on a big bike. My mate has a 954 and cant ride it. He's to short and too inexperienced. he only rides slowly and cant touch the ground when stopped so this is a bad choice of bike. i dont ride hard everywhere so i could have bought a 600 but i like the 'oh shit' factor of my 954 when i boot it. test ride first and good luck in your choice.
