Not much in it for acceleration, but there's little in it up to 100 on most bikes!!! It handles better than the fazer, and has better all round punch than its 20+ year old rival.
I'm buying an XSR for play, but my fazers staying too for my commute!

Don't think we're comparing apples with apples. The Fazer is a true all rounder - scratcher, commuter, tourer etc...much like your/my Tiger. The XSR is a fun commuter bike designed primarily NOT for motorways/touring etc. The R1 is a fun/grin factor bike.
Bottom line is that Fazers are well proven, reliable all rounders good for many trouble free miles which is what the OP was referring to.
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
