Yeah, I've only had the bike two weeks now, haven't even got the plates for it, but i've ridden dirt bikes and quads for a while. I agree with coltboostin, if you can't pass it on the bike you plan on riding then you shouldn't be riding it. I don't think that it'll be a problem on an R1 but everyone else is telling me that it's going to be hard. The way I see it, it's the same size as the 600's just a little more torque happy so I have to smooth with it, not that hard.
