You apparently have waaaaay more knowledge than I do when it comes to motorcycles. My opinions obviously mean jack. But at least my bike looks better.  |
Up to 6K rpm within 1.5 seconds and have gobs of power from 6K-16.5K rpm.
You must be thinking of 80's or 90's era 600's? Either that or you are trolling and have never actually ridden a street bike. I am starting to think the latter.
2008 R6 - 0-60mph in 3.31 seconds.
2009 R1 - 0-60mph in 2.8 or 2.9 seconds depending on where you look.
Yeah, I'd say there isn't a whole heck of a lot of difference. Except that with a corner or two I'm beating you to the destination. Go ahead and keep your R1 for in town riding...
