Default Need some advice from experienced riders

In sort of a dilema, started riding about a year ago on a 1998 Harley-Davidson Heritage Springer, my started riding my friends rocket about a month ago on and off and are totally in love with the crotch rockets and am going to switch over but completely distraught over making the decision b/t a new R6 or R1. Money isnt the option but not wanting to have too much power that i cant handle it, but still dont want to have a slower bike. If you guys got any advice please let me know. Thanks

You just cant go wrong with the new R6. The 06 is a bad bitch.

Thanks for the help, but yes i am pretty much stuck on the yamaha because i have ridden 04 gsxr 600 and the 04 R6 and i liked the R6 plus i have friends that have been working on yamaha since we were 8 years old so i have help that, but any other advice towards the difference in power is much appreciated. Thanks again

I rode an '06 R6 and those things are sick... Don't they have like 120HP at the crank? Someone told me this.

Well i just moved down to FL about a month ago from Grand Rapids, MI and the HD Heritage had to stay in GR, so i am on the lookout for a new or newer R6. But the r6 gets somewhere around 135 at the crank and the R1 gets somewhere around 175 at the crank.(i think/not sure).
