It probably seemed bad at the time because I had just sat on a gsxr1k. That bike fit me like a glove.

Gixxers fit me the best...prolly get a Gix 750 next. Or a 10r. redflip

So in what way was it uncomfortable? 5'9" 31 inseam isn't what I would call "all torso"......more like "normal"

I saw one ride by me on the highway, sounded like a v-twin but it was most certainly an R1. Twin - 2 bros carbon fiber cans. Sounded tits.

My friends 2011 R1 has the two brothers black series on it, I need to post a pic of his bike, we just finished putting it back together (he highsided following me through our favorite mountain roads)

Its looks and sounds sweet, I've actually put more miles on it than him since he has a broken collarbone. I love to ride it on occasion, but WOULD NOT buy one

Agreed.

From what I've seen, most of you don't actually commute on sportbikes, so the whole thing about comfort and heat isn't a big concern IMO.

I'd much rather have an R1 over the Honda or the Zuk.
The Kwak might be a different story though..... I'd have to compare.

I commute with mine 60 miles round trip to work and back.(for now)
