what times ya doing then mark any quick on the R1 than the ten 
looking good fella
1.16/1.17 actually, now I've found my feet with it .. I'm pretty much spot on where I was with the 10R. I'm thinking that the 10R and I did 50 days on track and the R1 is about 6 so theres plenty of familiarity to come. It feels very different under you though -- much more neutral and generally less front end biased - taken me a bit of time to get used to it but I think we are there now
Power wise, its quite a bit stronger in the mid range - combo of motor and gearing and it holds its torque and bhp all the way to its 13K redline -- almost perfectly flat at 172bhp. It hooks up on the rear better than the 10R did -- feels more like a 600 -- although I'm told thats because it have the full comp shock and not the WP trackday shock -- that will help alot I'm told. When it does slide/spin-up its much less leary(lary?) than the 10R was - more progressive overalll again that could be shock related -- but the overall geometry is more neutral than the 10R so probably a combo of them both.
As snetterton was so quiet I had a bit of practice braking into the left hander after the Revett straight -- its normally too busy to practice things but I was stunned to find I could pull the R1 up (and probably the 10R) quite easily from 75m closer to the apex than I do normally ! Did not put into practice much but it just goes to show how much "comfort" zone is built into my riding !
Looking good mate
