Good initial feedback on the new bike Ron. Similar to my impressions when I test rode one. Don't forget though, this is a new bike vs your previous RS so that has to be considered with comparisons. That said, the engine is a new design so it is likely inherently smoother, and the brakes are also different (Hayes?) so that probably accounts for the difference. My RS also has "progressive" brakes, unlike the S1000R, although their calipers are the same.
