What year was the R1? I'm sure your car is pretty quick, but R1's are really kinda slow on the straights, they just have no mid-range power at all, unless it has a spray. I've raced an '01, '06 and '07 R1's with slip-ons from a roll with my '07 Gsxr1000 w/ slip-on and I just leave them everytime. Nevertheless, your car still runs awesome to be able to hold-off a 1000cc crotch rocket.

I guess what I mean to say is that, R1's (xx-'08 model year) with just a slip-ons are slower compared to a newer GSX-R1000 or ZX10R on a straightline racing, that's because R1's just doesn't have the mid-range pull like the other 2 bikes I've mentioned, R1's were never really known for their power, you have to do more than just a simple slip-ons to make it any faster, but handling is where they really shine, now GSXR1000's and ZX10R's have always been known for their brute power. My nephew had a '07 R1 with a Leo Vince slip-ons and he admits that my '07GSX-R1000 is much faster than his '07R1, they just don't have any mid-range.
You have to be a rider and have ridden both bikes to know exactly what I'm talking about.

100-180mph in under 12 seconds that smokes everything, including the zx14 and hayabusa.
