As far as standing up under braking, I have never experienced it. I regularly trail brake front and rear in corners without issue.

I know that much of the problem with the bike standing up under braking was due to the tires. The D208's that came on many of the first run bikes were awful at standing up mid corner.
Yeah, in the liquid cooled I4 world, 600 - 1000 is a big difference...

I had the standing up issue running Diablo's and Pilot Road 2's...

The 1125 is rock solid with the Corsa III's on it.
A touch twitchy when straight up with PP's on it.

I don't think it's a beginer bike, IMO.

The XB's, maybe if the rider had some prior experience with something. But I've never ridden one myself, so I can't tell ya.
I wheelied two days ago.
