I have an R1 and have the exact same problem. It just doesn't feel that fast.

I had a choice on an R1 and the R6. I picked the R6 for that reason. Funny thing is, I bought the R6 so I could actually use some of the gears vs. 1 on the R1. I was shocked to find out the R6 does 74mph in first. Not quite the 101 of the R1, but still an RCH from reckless here.

I got the superduke for an afternoon. I think it's overblown by motorcycle magazines. It's a neat bike. However, it's a neat $9000 bike. Top end suspension and braking components and dodgy injection with a rather uninspiring motor. I've heard people say they are a different beast uncorked. I hope they are right.
Blasphemer.

Howdy, Scot.
