Thoughts of the R1 so far.
More upright riding position than the duc and more sitting on top of the front wheel.
Bloody hell mirrors, I can see what's behind me, still keep looking over my shoulder though.
Engine is bloody good turbine like power were the duc was raw power.
Exhaust note...duc wins sorry.
Comfort, apart from the numb fingers the R1 wins hands down.
Acceleration and sense of speed....r1 wins again
Brakes on par with the brembo of the duc.
Wow factor at the mo half and half but I do love the R1.. :drool:
