R1 all day long over that single pot piece of crap

The 990 SuperDuke would be a better choice tho

R1 would be good to have a play on a supermoto though, its a bit of a compromise moto-x and road though, good recipe for FUN

Was going to say the same as Jacko.

Lots of people are switching from Superbikes/Sports to SuperMotards. Simply because they are more usable at low-speeds-pissing-around-in-town than a R1/Blade/Ninja.
