Both bikes will be uncomfortable for you if you want something to cruise around on. For a full-on sportsbike, you'll be fine on either. I'm 6'3 and 250 and my R6 has never let me down. You'll love it!

both bike keep you cramped up !
There is 1.1 inch larger reach to the bars on the R1 ..and the same from the seat to the peg ..so both are the same size..just a 25 LBS weight differance ... as for the power issue....GUYS! Teh R-6 has 110 horse power! and will do the 1/4 mile in 10.6 seconds! ...more then enough power to whipe out!
Inexperiance is the # 1-2-3-4 causes for crashing a bike...not the power..study after study proves this...NO coralation between power and accident rate..period!

Im assuming since you asked this question that this if your first bike, in that case the R6 will be more than enough bike, actually itll probably be too much for you. Starting on a liter bike(1000cc) is like giving a 16 year old a new mustang, they may not wreck it but chances are its going to get wadded up on the side of the road. Either way have fun riding and be safe!!

I'm with Mssporty on this one. Too much horsepower in the wrong hands can get you killed. Why do you have to go from R6 straight to R1??? Why don't you get yourself a Suzuki SV650? Plenty of power, not too hard on the insurance, and it looks better too.

There is minimal differences in the useable speed and horsepower from those two bikes. You can still kill yourself on either one. And you will be cramped... For sure. Make your first bike a pleasureable one, and get a v-twin with a relaxed riding position first. Then get the poseur racebike that you will get hurt on afterward.

Depends on whether or not you can handle the power or not. Don't get something bigger if you can't handle the speed and power behind it. To many people have died just to show off they got a 1000cc or more between their legs. Ride responsible not foolish.
