Am I ready for a 1000cc Sport bike ???? ( Yamaha R1 )?

[daneharrison]

So heres the deal. Im about 6,3 240 lbs. I hade a 2006 Cbr600rr for about 6 months and rode it about 1500-2000 miles. Let me tell you it was crazy fast at first but soon enough I found myself redlining it through gears with no problem. I also understand It probly feels much faster with a 150lb rider than It does with me on it. So when advising me for a 1000cc keep in mind im a big guy. Anyways I now belive I am ready for a 1000cc ( R1 ). People keep telling me I should have more experience but a rode that cbr like it was a toy so think im ready. So I just recently rode a r1 around town And really it didnt feel too much faster, it just feels alot more dificult to handle/control. I have yet to take the r1 in high rpms and open the throttle because people have convinced me that its a death wish to do that. Do you think I can handle an r1? I think i can but people act like me driving one is the end of the effing world. How much different is it? I seriously doubt its going to flip just by flicking the throttle like people say. And ways on paper the 0 to 60 is only like .2 faster on the 1000 so I dont see I thats soo much faster. Anyways please give me advice about the pros and cons of the both. And any other info/ advice you may have. Thanks alot
