Went to the dealer yesterday, and the CR isn't as bad as the pics show. Looks almost identical to the 1125R except for the handlebar and dopey headlight. The headlight moves with the bars- unfortunately, that's the wrong way in a turn. The fairing on the R hides the size of the rad scoops- they're actually the same size or very close. Same instrument cluster, same engine- not detuned at all. Didn't get a chance to sit on it, since it was under a shelf and I had to climb over piles of chrome to see it, but the bars look to put the rider in the same position as the clipons. So it's not just another dumbed down naked. Can't say about the mirrors usefulness, but I'm sure there as horrible as any other bar mount I've seen.
