What Would you Do

Have you ever cruised on a harley and an R1.... I think not so, I have. It was comfortable for me, I did it for an hour the other day and I was completely happy doing so.

Not sure if you misunderstood my post or not.

You can cruise a R1 slow and low RPM and it still makes plenty of power like a Harley. Or you can run it at high RPM like a MotoGP bike. It's a liter bike so it has lots of power both on the low end and at the top and lots of torque.
Here is a CBR1000 and a R1

for comparison, here is the R6 and some other SuperSport bikes.

I ride a Daytona 955i so I know what gobs of low RPM torque is on a Sport bike.

I didn't go over any aspect of comfort at all in my post. Just that you don't have to drive the R1 at high RPM and fast like a MotoGP race bike to enjoy the ride as another post indicated.

Took a while but someone got it.... Of course it was a Pom so it hardly counts as we understand each others slang/humour.

I thought you had meant that they were hard to find...
