I am sure the R1 components will be much higher quality...I think the European Black and Gold R1 is the hottest color scheme. It is available here only on the R6.

As for me my ego doesn't need a massage and I need a do-it -all bike more than I need 86 ft lbs of torque so the FZ6R is right up my alley! Of course you have to understand I owned 3 of the YZF600R's, so the do-it-all concept is my background as well.
