I saw an S1000RR at a local Sunday hang-out near the Palm Beach track. I have to say, it was a gorgeous machine; the best-looking supersport I ever saw. If the R is as nice I can see why you bought it, although it's a pretty "apples and oranges" comparison to the CB.
One reason I haven't seriously looked at either "S" is insurance. Going from the CB to a supersport where I live means paying literally 10X for the same coverage. A Kawi Ninja 1000's insurance payments were $50 less than the bike payment per month, and I have a perfect record. I'd pay for the bike twice in 5 years; that's nuts. Did your insurance go up that much?
