Aubrey went slower at GBM on his R1 than his CBR600, just because I went quicker on my R1 than my GSXR600 doesn't mean that applies to everybody. I didn't make myself completely clear so to put it into proper context, my quickest lap on my gixxer was a 1:17 which is not fast, that was my first ever season of riding. So naturally in my second season I should go quicker regardless of the bike I'm on. I'm 100% sure if I was on a 600 I'd also would have dropped 2 seconds from that time (if not more). It had nothing to do with the R1 speed around TMP and everything to do with it was my second season and I had more understanding of riding a bike.
I went to Bogie last year and rode the ex factory R6 and R1 and even though I was riding my R1 all year I was quicker on the R6.
1000s are quicker bikes given the proper circumstances (like using them at a big track like Mosport, not TMP/GBM) if you can make the most of it that's all I'm saying and what others are saying is that most people can't make the most of them, but can make the most of 600s easier (because they are easier to make the most of). It's simple logic and there are many many examples to back up the points that have been made.
Don't use me as an example I'm a newb!
