To all you FZ1 and R1 owners. One of these days I'll upgrade to a litre bike. I really like the looks of the new R1 in yellow but the FZ1 in blue looks sweet, too. I'm leaning towards the R1 but I'm a little worried that my back might get sore after a few hours of riding on it. My wife loves the R1 and that is her choice, hands down ( I have a wonderful wife). Do you R1 owners get a sore back? And, you FZ1 owners, does the FZ1 really handle as well as the FZ6? One thing I don't like about the 6 is the throttle response. From giving it no throttle to giving it about a quarter throttle, it comes on too fast and it gives a surge of power all of a sudden, kind of jerky. I don't know how to explain it any better, so I hope you know what I'm saying. Does the FZ1 have a smoother throttle response or is it about the same as the 6? Aside from the throttle response, I can't think of anything else that I don't like about the 6. I'm 54 but I'm still a kid at heart, and I really like the R1, but I am worried about a sore back. Can I get some feed back from you guys? Thanks.
