I understand. I, on the other hand, am more of a naked bike guy.

Yep, there were two that ate it at the last track day. I bet you could have offered them something cheap.

Honestly, there have been so many and they are pretty popular track weapons that just about everyone has a box full of parts for them with them at the track day.

The 1125 looks pretty sweet. But idk im still a little iffy. I know OSP jerks it to them in his office. But my friend had a XB-9R when I lived in Tulsa, OK. Sure it had some torque from stop signs, but after the first second I was blasting past and not giving up. He shortly after purchasing it became sad that my 6 would wax him. 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....

Psst. The CR is NAKED!


The 1125 is more like an RC51 in it's delivery. You'll ride the torque until the top end kicks in.

Great motor. You won't have any 600's running away from it.

Although it's a liter class bike, it doesn't have the top end punch that gets folks into trouble.

Twins are also great in that because the power pulses are spaced farther apart, the rear tire doesn't break traction quite as easily.

Problem is that you can't get a CR used yet.

the 9 is comparable to a 600 I4.
the 1125 is a whole new ball game. It will keep up to a liter I4 in all sane (and some not to sane) riding. It will do everything a 750 will do, and sound better doing it too
Further, to most riders, it is more comfortable and more street friendly than a SS bike ON THE STREET.
