Cannonball Rider #52
I haven't ridden the S1000RR even 100 feet, but I did A/B the seating with the Yamaha R1 last year at the Laguna Seca MotoGP. The S1000RR is definitely a Barcalounger compared to the R1, and especially to the Ducati 916 (last real sport bike I tried to ride, but I couldn't lift my head up enough to see forward). Sure, the pegs are up high and the bars are a reach (for me at 5'10" 225), but it's far from extreme like the other two bikes I mentioned. I didn't think the reach was a lot further than my R1200ST...
Bottom line, if someone wants to loan me their RR, I'd be happy to try a 350 mile day on it.
