    Do you feel more wrapped into the BMW as apposed too perching on the Yam?

    I feel more wrapped in the BMW and love that bike. Don't get me wrong I love the R1 and it is an incredible bike once built to the spec we have it at. Believe it or not I think our Mystery rider prefers the R1, obviously Jake preferred the BMW. I personally find the BMW an incredible machine that is actually realistic to build to the top AMA spec of competition in an obtainable fashion. I could duplicate the BMW very easily the R1 not so much :)
