Welcome to the forum, I have has three Big Bang R1's best advice is to test ride a few of them and pick the one that feels right, get a good one and they are awesome, some if the early ones could be very snatchy with the throttle .

Good luck and welcome

Hi and :text-welcomewave:

Got my first R1 a week ago and still a newbie on here myself... :teasing-newbie:

It's a welcoming forum with lots of activity and loads of info... :ugeek:

...by next week I might know enough to start asking "daft" questions! :character-kermit: :mrgreen:

...good luck with your search. :handgestures-thumbup:

There's no such thing as a "normal" biker.
