Hi guys - love this site... this is my first post.
My question is this:
I have been riding now for about a year and have been riding a ZXR400R (Http://www.empyrosis.com/bikepics/index.html). Its a nice bike and i like it but think its time to move onto something with a bit more power down low.
Was wondering if the 2000 R1 that I want is the bike for me in terms of whether or not I could handle making a 600cc jump in capacity.
I'm not a crazy rider. I don't stress my 400, dodge between cars or travel regulary above the speed limit. I just really like the look and feel of the R1 above anything else.... well apart from an F4 but thats almost twice the price of an R1 and thats just crazy talk.
Do I need to spend more time in the lower capacities or should I be okay with a little care?

) All I can say is be careful on the throttle, and resist the urge to show off to your friends
