I'm guessing the only other reason for moving away from the R's would be for the comfort of a more upright ride?
Omg how could u sell that beautiful white r1, would do some horrible things for one of them, I originally wanted a cbr600 but Honda wouldn't approve me and my girl together, I picked the fz8 100% based on looks, knew nothing about the bike not even the name till I read the card, was an impulse buy and was the best one to date

The bike was a beast.. Got to the point on the bike where I wasn't scared of it anymore. With that much power, it's a bad thing... Friends started to not want to ride, because I loved using the power. So I was about to switch it into a track bike, but I got a job in Cleveland. All highways. Nothing fun to ride, so with better judgment, I sold it. I thought buying my WRX and modding it up would keep me away from the bike.. Got a job back in PA.. Twisty's everywhere. FZ8 in the driveway a week later.
I've all but settled on trading my FZ8 in on a Speed Triple for the lack of interest in throwing time and money at the FZ8 to improve the shortfalls of the bike.
Just trying to find the right S3.
