I drive my R every day (10K miles since October 02) and I would prefer this over any of my friend's GSRs.
Stock for stock, mien is 12.4X more fun to drive. The leather has me sliding all over the place, although I can actually hear the stereo over the car in the GSR.
I'm with Shingo and I *DO* use my R for a daily driver, after 1.5 yrs of driving an LS.
