I'm not the most educated on this, so i'm going mostly off what i've read, and sheer stats.

R6 weighs in 9 lbs lighter dry
1125 has more hp, and more torque, and the power is everywhere, vs just in the top end.
Shouldn't this make it easier to go fast around the track?
Less problems finding the right gear for every corner.
No driveline lash, as you have a constant tension belt vs a chain.

Just my thoughts... tell me why i'm wrong.
You're not wrong. The XB's...absolutely...they can get around a track quickly...but they are made for the street. The 1125 is a track bike.
