Along with the obvious power difference the seat height is a fair bit taller would I be right in saying? I also ride abroad usually once a year so need to be bearable to do some distance, any advice? cheers.

Hi mills. R1 compared to the sv, more comfy for sure. I get bad groin ache the following day after riding the sv, I get none so far on the r1. Wrists are less of a problem also. It's easier to ride on country roads as the torque is just astonishing so less gear changing if that's how you want to ride. It's not to bad on fuel, not as good as the sv but not that bad. Seat height don't seem much difference as I had jacked my l2 up. It's no heavier to move around so all in all a top bike. Not missing the sv at all now. Still a top bike thou. Hope that helps. What's a ccm604.
