yeah I was tossing up between the R1 and the GSXR myself Ryan, have you ridden both? the thing that clenched it for me was after 15 odd minutes of riding the GSXR my forearms were sooooo sore from constantly holding up my body weight. Where as on the R1 I found I could basically lean on my elbows on the outside edges of the tank and still have plenty of movement in my forearms for quick responce.......much more comfortable
