pretty much everything on the s1000rr feels better than the r6. the bike is better built, and the suspension and brakes are a lot better. the 200 rear tire is a LOT harder to turn with than the 180 i have on the r6. but more importantly, the r6 wont fling me off the bike when im aggressive on the throttle coming outta corners. so what im basically trying to say is... im not good enough to ride the 1000 lol


edit: i prefer the r6 a lot more than the s1000 on track. the adjustable ohlins steering damper helped a lot with head shake and i was able to soften it all the way while still keeping the front end planted. i'm also planning on getting new forks and rear shock for the r6, as the stock ones are way too soft.
