Burt,
I suggest the Yamaha R1.
I have been searching for a bike too and I end up with the dilema between R6 & R1.
The advantages are that the R1 ( in comparison to the R6) is
- closer to the road, so has better grip
- the line is fuller
- R1 has more muscle in HP
- acceleration is as efficient in 6th gear as R6 in a much lower gear, so no problem to handle a stress situation.
- additional options (dealer affective)
and more...
But these are the major advantages of the R1 of yamaha compared to the R6.
Note: You have to be a slightly experienced rider if you want to handle the power of the R1.
Regards,
