The Type RA is for men, the P1 is for girls.

Simples really.

That sounds controversial!

What do you mean by this comment is it referring to driving style?

The P1 is a watered down Type R, all it is is a Type R without all of the toys.

In essence, you take a Type R, remove DCCD, remove the close ratio box, give it softer suspension and you end up with a P1.

P1 looks better and is a better drive on UK roads. Type R I'm sure would be better on track.

RA for drivers, P1 for posers.
