Just 6'1. Well if I did the calculation right, about 1.84 meters. Nothing wrong with Yamahas actually. The new R6 really grew on me. But the new CBR600RR is better.
As for the R1, I have to say cruising around on a liter bike has its advantages. Like when going down the highway you don't have to turn 8,000 rpm. Plus, I rode it once in the twisties and I didn't have to change gears all the time. Loads of torque. But you do have the fear of god in you while you're riding it, which is no fun.
