I'm talking about regular riding around here. I don't daily commute on my bikes. If I take them out for a ride usually it is a "spirited" run and I don't mean racing but I don't mean stop and go traffic either. After getting off of my R1...the R6 is flat below 8k period and I don't really like it...that's why it's now my wife's bike.
Don't get me wrong...it's a great bike but mainly for the track so you can rev the $hit out of it. If you ride in this area and plan to pass a car on a two lane...you better rev the R6 up but on my R1 it take a LOT less effort.
It's not being stupid...it's being factual.
