Oh you tried the CBR?
Yeah, over here too the CBRs are reputed to be an easier ride (position wise). But I still like the R1 much more (design and style wise).
And this is why I envy those who can ride R1s.

In Japan the CBRs are the most popular SS bikes though and I believe that shows how they are considered more comfortable.

BTW, CBR1000RR has undergone a major change in their 2008 model. So my friends who ride older models have actually been waiting for the 2008 model to come out if they had plans to renew their bikes.
