I was curious what made you all choose the R6 over the R1? Also, after you had your R6 for a while, do you wish you would have gotten the R1? or visa versa.
Before I knew anything about bikes I thought I wanted an R1. Once I got into riding and started doing track days I realized the the R6 is more suited for my style of riding. I have no desire to own a liter bike now.
-First bike, dumb enough to start on a 600, not dumb enough to start on a liter bike, no thank you.
-Heavier (i'm a small guy)
-what Charlie Sheen said.
I gotta admit though, I love the way the R1 headlights look. Would love to put that on an R6 if it was feasible.

I agree with all those points, I just have so many people say "may wells get the R1 because you will out grow the R6 yada yada."
I already have my mind set on another R6. Just seeing what everyone else's reasons were.

The majority of the people who say that to you either don't ride, haven't ridden a 600, or are dense. Just saying.
