Sold my 05 R1 over a year ago but missed the ride. Bought a 07 CBR 1K last month and love it. I liked the all black R1 so I did the same with the CBR. Added Jardine exhaust, Vortex rear sets, PC3, BMC, Pazzo leavers, +2 rear sprocket and more. Nice power all the way through the gears and handles great.

i really like the black 1000rr... i just dont like the comfort and lack of high-rpm power.

Now some times i wish my r1 had the same low/mid power
I am 6-4 so I got the Vortex rear sets because I can lower them down 1 inch from the stock setting. If I do a track day I can move it up in 10 minutes. The power is hard to tell the difference up top but down low the CBR seems very strong...almost like my old 03 GSXR 1K.

They are both great bikes. The CBR has more down low and the R1 more on the top. But it has been so long between bikes I have a hard time remembering how the R1 felt. If I didn't throw a rod on the R1 in the first 1k miles I might have bought another one, but that experience left a bad taste in my mouth. So far the CBR is a fun bike in the first 1300 miles!
