I usually hear, "It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow." I think there is some truth there. I do have to hold back a lot on the R1, but there are still plenty of times when I'm thankful for its grunt/power. It's easier to be aggressive on a smaller bike, that's for sure...especially with the throttle. As you go up in power, throttle control matters more and more (though it matters for all sizes). The Street Triple R is one of the most-praised motorcycles out there. Period. Forget nakeds, standards, cruisers, sportbikes, tourers. It's just an amazing motorcycle. If I were you, I'd pull the trigger.
