You've made your point RCA. You can leave now since this is going nowhere. You're obviously well 'ard and measure your masculinity by the top speed of your bike.
Personally, I like the looks of the R1 best of all the litre bikes but it's full performance is unusable on the roads whereas you can utilise all the 749's performance and that's the fun of it. I rode my 749s home from Coventry (JHP) to North Wales last Friday and couldn't get the grin off my face. I didn't scare myself shitless, I just had a good fast ride on some great roads.
It's pointless comparing the two bikes and after all, one man's meat is another mans poison. Now be off with you.
