I did ride it and I like the feel, and they do pretty well in the twisties. Id say they are comparable to a larger Super Moto. Still cool bikes, and since they are a new company I feel they have alot of room to grow and impress. 10 points on the cool factor though.
Normally I am a fairing guy, but when it comes to the new 1125, I like the CR over the R. The fairing on the R is wierd. The CR is damn cool looking.

Still being an inexperienced rider I dont need the top end rush that a 6 offers. Thats why I'm really starting to think V-twin and its practicallity. Even tho all my friends have 6's. (05 R6, 05 CBR, 08 GSXR) The question is SV or XB....
