so I have a 2014 R1 and I love it but sitting on my friends S1000rr it felt so light compared to the r1 I wanted to ask do the new models feel lighter or is the S1000rr just have better weight distribution.

I've ridden a 2009 and a 2018. Big difference. Then 09 feels big/heavy compared to 2018 when comparing the two setups. Maybe combination of overall weight and geometry.

Both are heavily modded and no cat (10lbs right there).
Cat feels like it’s more than 10lbs.
