Narrative:

During our takeoff roll we had a rud system 1 inoperative message appear on the EICAS between 80 knots and V1. Since this indicated that there was a problem with a primary flight control we made the decision to execute a high speed aborted takeoff. We got the message at approximately 105-110 knots. We were able to safely abort; exit the runway; run all appropriate checklists; make all necessary communications; and return to the gate for an aircraft swap. We informed ATC of the aborted takeoff but did not deem it necessary to declare an emergency. During this event there were no reported injuries as well. After the aircraft swap we continued without any further incident.
