No trees in my future Steve ( I hope). My neighbor has an R1 and I used to ride an old Honda CBR600F2. He said that the R1 makes my old Honda feel like a moped. I think your speed on a bike like that is limited more by your nerve than by the bike. I'll stick to 4 wheels now- The look on the F body drivers face at 70MPH when he heard the spool... Priceless! The car has already gathered quite a reputation over here. Not bad for being driven about 3 nights since I bought it.
