From what I have heard most Yamaha riders begin with an R6 and make the natural transition to the Yamaha R1 when they are ready for more power. The bottom line is that an R6 is a nimble and light bike and the R1 has far more power — regardless though, they are both very fast and easy to maneuver bikes. I guess it just depends what you are in the market for or what your existing riding skills are like.
