After debating this for some time. I rode a buddies RSV4, rode the new S1000RR and figured I had figured it out. I was heading down to put a deposit on the RSV4 RR that was coming in to the local dealer but I took a good buddy of mine. He has a 2015 R1 and he had me ride it down there.
I had ridden it before and was not impressed (they are restricted for NA market). This time when I hopped on it was a completely different bike. He has flashed the ECU and removed the restrictions from the bike....WOW.

So after riding that bike for just under an hour my mind was completely changed. I will be picking up a 15/16 R1. There is also talk of a 16 R1M and if thats the case I think I will jump on that one.
Despite its lacking looks, IMO, that bike felt like a 600 with rocket-like power.
